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?
Reply below and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
