Where to jack?

Where do you all jack to get a tire off? There is a metal bracket between the tires that looks convenient. That work?

Despite the comments that will come that the world will come to an end and the space time continuum will be altered, I have placed the jack under the axle on every trailer I have owned.

On a conventional suspension place it directly under the axle at the u bolts for the spring attachment, and if torsion axle under the 1/4 plate mounting bracket centered under the axle tube.

Just don't try it with the standard small diameter saddle of a bottle jack, use some cribbing. I prefer a floor jack.

I was hoping to hear the bar in between the tires was good. Seems like the perfect spot
