Hi all, I am replacing all the tires on my RV from LR C to D. Silly question; where do I place the jack stands when I take the wheels off? I know that I have to raise the wheels / axle at the leaf spring u bollts, but then where do I place the stands? My lift jack is already where I want to put the stands. Maybe I'll just do two at a time using the spare in rotation (
I'd like to do them all at once. ) Thanks for any help, stay safe have a good summer

I do mine "two at a time". I've got two jacks and don't use jack stands. My "only concern" is that I only have one "jack saddle" so the other axle gets "no protection from the jack rolling out from under the round axle shaft. One of these days I need to make me another jack saddle.

Don't place the jack under the axle.


The proper lift point is the frame near the spring hanger, place jack stands under the frame as close to the spring hangers as possible.
