First, Let me welcome you to the forum.
The frame manufacturer recommends jacking from the frame as close to the wheels as possible. That said .... I usually use two bottle jacks and lift where the U-bolts attach the springs to the axles. At this point you only need to jack an inch for both tires to clear the ground and don't shift much weight to other side or tongue jack. (assuming TT) Chock other side well. (I feel safer with TV hitched on a fifth-wheel so there is no chance of twisting landing gear) Do yourself a favor and balance the new tires regardless of what your local "Tire expert" says. ....... this is how I change tires ..... You should follow manufacturers recommended instructions for jacking to avoid any warranty problems. I hope this helps ... It is only JM2¢, Hank ....... Below is a photo of the correct way to support the frame when removing both wheels.
