Ok, I have jacked up my trailer several times to replace wheel cylinders and pack the bearings.

However, the only way I can raise the wheels off the ground is by jacking at the Spring hanger between the two wheels.

One of my tow vehicles has a jack piston tip that fits the spring hanger ok.

Driving onto a curb or ramp with one wheel or jacking on the axle just presses the higher wheel against the fender without raising the other wheel off the ground.

Bottle jacks seem to only have a round flat tip on the jack piston. That seems to be less than desireable when jacking on the spring hanger.

I would like a jack dedicated to the trailer that provides a secure attachment to the spring hanger.

Is there such a thing that you use?
