In another thread, balancing the wheels is discussed. I'd have to jack up one or both sides of the Monty to get them off. Without having weighed the landing gear, but assuming they take half the weight (I will weigh this for real), then the other half is on the tandem axles. Assuming 16,000lbs GVW, then we have 4,000lbs per axle, 8,000lbs for the pair. Could I put a standard telescopic jack of appropriate rating (>4,000 for one side) under the centre post of the tandem assembly (where the leaf springs both connect)?
