Can Blaylock EZ Jack System Be Used to Service Trailer Tires

Published 07/18/2023

Question:

Im concerned that using the Blaylock EZ Jack on a dual axel travel trailer leaving 1 tire on 1 side unsupported for the purposes of changing or servicing a tire will leave only 3 support points for the full weight of the trailer and overload the rating on the axels. Is this a concern or am I overthinking this?

In a sense you're overthinking it, yes.

The Blaylock EZ Jack and Wheel Chock for Tandem-Axle Trailers # EZ-JACK can be used both to help level out your trailer on uneven ground but it's also great for temporarily raising a side of the trailer to change out a tire like what you mentioned doing. You just want to avoid leaving your trailer in that position for an extended period of time at full capacity.

If you do need to leave your trailer jacked up like that for a while then you need to use a heavy duty jack like the Powerbuilt Bottle Jack # ALL647501 to support the frame of your trailer and add that 4th point of contact.
