As requested, here's a link to my solution .....


Note that I have flange on BOTH sides of axle. I bring a scissor jack along when I travel.

I also use a jack pad. I like the one for my HILIFT jack.

A while back someone posted a picture of a block of wood they made to put under the axle for jacking.  Tried to find in the search section but was unsuccessful.  It looked like a really nice set-up, so if your the podder who created this, I wouldn't mind if you could repost.  Thanks, hogone

Just on a side note.

Might want to make sure your TV jack will raise the POD enough.  You MAY have to carry some pieces of 2x6 for added lift.

I have a hydraulic bottle jack with me in the TV all the time anyway, so I expect that is what I will use if I need to.

I studied the jack problem and came to the conclusion that my factory jack in the Trailblazer will work perfectly if need and then I was able to remove a 20 lb hydraulic jack in the rear garage and save that much more weight. hopefully I will not have to use it.

The scissors jack for my TV works great.  A small floor jack might be better, but takes up valuable storage space.
