Use tire ramps. Hydraulic Bottle jacks are unreliable and leak if tipped on their side.

Tire ramps don’t always get the job done. We’re talking using a bottle jack to change a tire, not replace an axle assembly. The trailer isn’t going to fall on you if the jack fails on a tandem axle trailer. The other axle will catch it.
Used correctly bottle jacks are safe.
