BLOCKING TRAILER FOR WINTER

[FISCALMAN]

HOW TO BLOCK A TRAILER FOR WINTER I WOULD LIKE TO BLOCK UNDER THE
AXLES BUT WAS TOLD TO BLOCK UNDER THE FRAME THAT WOULD BE ABOUT
36 INCHES AND THEN THE SUSPENTION HANGS THE OBJECTIVE IS TO GET THE
WHEELS OFF THE GROUND HAS ANYONE DONE THIS?
THANK YOU

I don't understand the rationale behind what you are wanting to do, but my recommendation if you insist on raising the tires off of the ground, would be to block the frame for support, then raise the axles with a jack (using the location where the suspension is attached for the jacking point) and support the axles then with either blocks or jack stands at the same points. Some have recommended parking the rigs with the tires on wood for the winter, but I have never done that, I just let the tires sit on the gravel in the mini-storage.

I used four 3ton jack stands on the frame and the front landing legs. I placed the jack stands infront and behind the tires and used the "I" beam frame as the support. I used a bottle jack to raise each side.
