Unless it has changed, they don't recommend placing a jack under the axle to raise the trailer.
Some here on the forum are using a trailer aid, and if that doesn't get it up high enough to change the tires, then take the last little bit with a bottle jack.
Seems as tho the side walls on the axles are pretty thin.

Agree with Lloyd on using care with jacks. I have several 2x6's I've cut to roll up on with the good tires, raising the flat tire high enough to gain clearance. I do also carry an aluminum 1 1/2 ton jack to raise that axle higher if necessary. Always picking up from under the u-bolts, never the axle tube.
As also noted, lots of debate on tire types, ST vs LT. I recently replaced all 6 tires with an ST, e-rated tire after the old ones reached almost 7 years old.
Makes it hard to drive when all you think about is a possible blow out with older tires. Feel much better now.
