Thanks

I got a Trailer-Aid Plus off of Amazon a couple months ago when I upgraded the tires on my 42ft Sabre 5'er. It too has tandem axles and it will work on your TT too.
Although the Trailer-Aid Plus should've worked out of the box with my RV, it did not get the tires up off the ground enough that I could remove 'em. However, the 5.5 inches of lift may get your TT up off the ground. If it doesn't get the job done, like on mine, you can modify it so it'll work.
Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a 2 x 6 x 8 board, some 2.5" and 3" galvanized lag bolts and washers. Cut the board to the dimensions of the Trailer-Aid. Drill holes thru the board so that they line up with the screw holes on the bottom of the Trailer-Aid. Screw the lag bolts and washers into the holes from the bottom of the board into holes on the bottom of the Trailer-Aid Plus to secure it. Once I did this, the extra 1.75 inches got the wheels up off the ground and was able to change the tires just fine.
