Alternatives to Trailer Legs for Lifting Dual Axle Campers

[dougbo44]

I have of pair of the axle lifting device...Trailer Legs.......these are cradled on axle, then camper is pulled forward and the Trailer legs lift wheels off ground. I recently purchased a 2 axle camper and need another pair. Company is apparently out of business. Can someone direct to buying another pair?

I think it is not advisable to lift a trailer by its axle. You can not guarentee they lift equally.

Depends on placement of the jack
When doing an axle lift I place the jack under the springs
First it's a flat spot (Best for jacking() often with 4 bolts to help keep the jack from slipping should it tilt. (Depending on teh size of the top of the jack)

Second.. That' where the weight of the trailer/vehicle hits the axle. Never had a problem doing it that way.

Jacking farther towards center.. On a trailer.. Depends on the axle but I'd not suggest it.

I think this is the device you are asking about. Used ti change tires on the roadside and suitable for lighter weight trailers. You shouldn't need to lift both axles to change a tire on one of them.

The axles are a working part of the suspension during turning. They are easy to bend. and knock out the alignment of the wheels.
You can buy a 'Trailer Aid". You roll the good tire on it and it will lift the flat tire enough to replace it or just work on it.
This can also be done by stacking pieces of 2X6 to make a ramp about 8 inches high.
Plus it's much more stable.

The OP is asking for a second set of Trailer Legs... To lift TWO axles off the ground... at the same time... together... on a camper... I just do not like that idea.

not the device. What I have, a pair, lift the camper simultaneously by the axle, one on each side toward wheel. I have used the 2 I have for years on a single axle with 0 issues. The device is for long term storage, between trips, winter. Keeps weight off bearings, and tires (flat spot on tires,)
