Been jacking from this spot for 45+ years on all types of trailers.
Some will maintain only jacking up from the frame, but from experience I've found you need a very tall jack &/or plenty of blocks to place under the jack which then tends to jack the trailer much higher than needed to remove the wheels, in my opinion that makes it more hazardous.
If you have the auto levelling system just push buttons til the wheels are off the ground.

I have 4 bottle jacks. 14,000 lb 5th wheel hooked up to my truck. Plan on taking two wheels off at a time. Would it be ok to put 2 bottle jacks under the I-beam next to the forward and rear spring hangers? Then use the other 2 bottle jacks under the axles between the U-bolts?
