What kind of jack do you use for your trailer?

just curious as to what everyone uses for changing trailer tires on the road. I have used the one from my Suburban for the most part but it really doesn't work very good. I would like to find something better that I can throw in back of the Suburban when heading out.

Well, when I do a bigger trip, I just throw the aluminum floor jack into the trunk of our truck.

I have a bottle jack I carry around in the truck. Also carry some blocks of wood in case I need to prop it up a bit. I've used it quite a bit for the camper and boat trailers already in the last few years.

I've used the bottle jack out of the truck as I do not have a desire to haul around the 70lbs floor jack I use around the house. Bottle jack is a pain but it works. And like Viking I have taken a few 2x6's and made a ramp since I have a tandem trailer I can use the wood rather than a jack all together.

I use the same jack as Trayson mentioned, its pretty light, 25ish pounds I think. I only have taken it on long trips, long as in out of state.

I took it not only for the boat but because I don't like factory truck jacks and in case i got a flat on it.

I think Bottle jacks are fine, with some wood blocks to add stability.

Perfect size with a case for travel.

Much quicker than a standard jack and I don't get dirty or as sweaty crawling around on the ground getting it setup.

Plus it's light and compact that I just attached it to my spare tire so it's always with the trailer. I just keep my lug wrench under my trucks backseat and I'm good to go.

I just lift it up by hand and spin the nuts off. No wrench or jack needed. If we forget the spare I just run along side and hold her up. This is usually only good for a hundred miles or so though. Eat right and take care of yourself.

Kane, We talking about the same thing?

I always carry my floor jack on long trips. It has come in handy a couple of times and makes the job so much easier.
