    Changing trailer tires

    Last year I had to change three trailer tires. One I used the scissor jack from my Ford F-150 (because I didn't have anything else), second a bottle jack and the last an Easy Lift Trailer Jack, which I don't think was made for a tandem axle trailer.

    I'm not happy with any one of these options and since I cannot find out who is leaving screws on the ramp and am going to buy the Andersen Rapid Jack.

    Does anyone have experience with it or another solution?

              Looks awesome, here is the same idea just a little cheaper . . . pretty good reviews on amazon as well.

                  I'm pretty lazy. With my tandem torsion bar trailer I just pull one tire up on a curb and the other one on that side just floats in the air. I have changed 3 tires on the road in this manner. Last time was when the wheel bearing let go. Oh yeah, I have also towed the boat home on 3 wheels two different times. Gotta love torsion bar suspension...

                                  Yeah ....I've made similar w/2x12's but mitered the cuts to use for quick oil changes in the driveway etc. Over the years, ....as my belly gets bigger....I just add layers to the stack.
