Dumb question? <how do I jack up my AR195 trailer?>

[Bdog]

Hi! I am about to take delivery on a May 3rd of my
new AR 195. Bought 2 new radial tires and wheels balanced with stems from recstuff.com for the shorelander trailer.

What is the safest way to jack up this trailer to make the swap? Obviously leave it attached to the tow vehicle and boat would be on the trailer most likely. What type of floor jack do I need to accomplish this and where would be the best spot to position the jack on trailer?

Most regular floor jacks will get you the height you need. Just place it under the frame close to the wheel.

This is what I did, jack from the frame near the leaf bracket is attached

You can also drop the tongue all the way to jack up the rear of the trailer frame behind the wheels on stands, then lift the front of the trailer - could use the tongue jack (propped up on cinder block - the OEM jack is short and crappy) - only if no boat of course. With the boat on the trailer need to jack up the frame.

I use a bottle jack or a mini floor jack and put it right under the axle behind the tire where the leaf spring attaches. Obviously with the trailer hooked to the tow vehicle to stabilize the rig. Remember to break the lugnuts loose before you jack it up. Also, be sure to take some pics when you're done or else it didn't happen.

Great advice! I’ll get the pictures up at one point after May 3.

A bit of a pain but get the floor jack on the cross axle frame close to the tire.

I think you used a "9" for your "6" on your registration since the dark gradient is not matching the rest of the numbers lol.

Wheels look good and same ones I had on my AR192. Rolls so much nicer with radials than bias ply.
