Hello Phil, thanks for reaching out. Scissor jacks like the etrailer Scissor Stabilizer Jack # e29VV are only for stabilizing the trailer. They have a 2,500 lb support capacity. They should not be used for lifting the trailer to change a tire. For that a better option would be a bottle jack such as part # ALL620471, which has a 6,000 lb capacity and can be used for lifting the trailer for maintenance.
What trailer do you have? How much does it weigh?
