Tire Mounting

I am getting new tires on my Montana this week. I currently have it sitting on the front jacks. My question is can they mount the tires while both front jacks are down supporting the Montana or should I put the Montana on the truck fifth wheel and retract the front jacks?

Either option can work - leaving it hooked up means you will need another vehicle or you will need to wait for it.

Over the years I've done both depending on the situation.

Ok. The tires are coming to me to be mounted. I can easily do both because I plan to be there while they are mounting. I'm really asking which is best for my Montana and the front jacks. I don't want to put too much weight on one jack?

Should be no impact to the front jack. Don't let them jack the axle up via the axle tube - it needs to be jacked at the frame or the axle attach point.
