I think we sometimes over analyze things a bit. People have been jacking on the axles for as long as there has been trailers. I'm with the group of jack it up where the axles are and you won't have a problem. Its where all the weight sits anyway and all your doing is lifting that same weight that the axle supports in the first place. I think its just common sense. Lifting on the frame also tweeks the frame and that is probably just as bad as trying to jack on the axle away from the springs. Just my opinion is all.

That's why I said only raise enough to remove some of the weight off the springs. That way, the second jack is only lifting the weight of the axle and not the weight of the trailer, while the first jack is taking the weight off the axle but not raising the frame enough to twist it. BTW Guys: I use a 12 ton jack, not a 20. Brain fart there on my part!
