A bottle jack works perfectly and takes up little room.  The top of the jack fits perfectly right under the perch that is welded to the axle and then to bolted to the frame (IIRC)....either right in front or right behind the axle.  Make sure the trailer is connected to your TV for stability.

Thanks.  Would that "perch" be directly behind the center of the wheel?

yes....right at the frame....it attaches the axle to the frame.  Was really wanting to make a jack point by some metal fab and welding or bolting...on the list.  But really, the bottle jack works great.
