Lippert 3.0

Will the Lippert 3.0 jacks lift my 34THB off the ground enough to change tires on one side? How about all 4? Could it hold for a couple hours to run have tires changed at Walmart? Walmart won’t take tires off my trailer anywhere locally. Thanks for the thoughts.

Yes and yes. You could always put blocks under the pads to be sure but I have used 3.0 to do axle services too many times to count.

Thanks Chuck appreciate it. If had to leave any longer I would probably block her up. Thanks again

As a rule I prefer to have all of my tires touching the ground so will block up one side if a site is more than a little out of level. That said, on one occasion one side of the trailer had both tires off the ground for the full 10 days we stayed at that park. It was a non-issue and didn't notice any change in stability. As Chuckster said, yes you can do it and aren't really risking anything.

I did exactly that, well it was Discount Tire but I did use the 3.0 on my Cougar to pull all 4 tires and have them changed and balanced twice during the 6 years I owned that trailer.
And that doesn't count the several times I used the jacks to lift the trailer to adjust the brakes.
