The Lipper Hyd jacks will in fact support your rig, they have ample working load to do. That said the real question is would you want to?

Hydraulic systems leak down and that is a FACT JACK and they start leaking down the day they are built.

You have 6 of these under your rig and if you think they all leak down at the same rate you would be thinking wrong. So in reality you would not want to use them to support your rig for the long term due to leak down and and uneven leak down.

Use them to raise your rig then put supports under the frame.

Were it mine and that requirement I would use sold concrete blocks rather than cinder, the cinder will support with no issue provided you use enough of them. I have seen plenty of rigs upon cinders and some of them have been there 20+ years, but they seem to have a set of cinders about every 4 feet or so???

For a perm installation it might be wise to contact one of the mobile home installers and let them set it up for you.

With a 6 point hydraulic level system, we have one side or others tires off the ground for weeks while boondocking. I have also used the level ups to change flat tires on the side of the road. Use it to lift the trailer (one side at a time) when repacking wheel bearings, although I do use jack stands for safety, but they are just snugged up under the frame, not actually supporting weight. Rig is 6 years old, frame hasn't blown up or collapsed or anything

But I would never use them for support with tires removed permanently. Hydraulic hoses and valves eventually fail.
