FINCHASER Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Not so much for changing a tire but if Im wanting to lift both tires on 1 side or get all 4 off the ground. Is it ok to put a jack between the wheels and use the frame to lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Center of the H beam on the Frame. Done it plenty of times. Just make sure it can't roll. I prefer having it hooked to my truck to hold it still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Troy Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I wouldn't recommend both sides up at once unless you use properly place jack stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Are you going to get under the boat while on jack stands? If so, I would recommend 4 jack stands and cribbing on a stable surface like concrete or asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Capt Troy... Yes Sir that is not lost on me. Just got done doing what I needed to do, jacked up one side put jack stands fore and aft of the tires then use the jack on the other side. SCFD.... Yea I put up some as a safety net on the jack side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Before I put a 5K lb boat on my chest I would be sure to have some 8x8 fence posts cut into 2 foot sections and stacked on each side, along with the jack stands.... I carry a large 2x10 and several 8x8's in the truck for on the road repair. dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I carry an 8x8 12" block and a 4x4 8" block and a small bottle jack. One or the other a wheel chock and a spacer for the bottle jack. Only had to use it once on this trailer when I was stupid and clipped a curb. Worked like a charm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
