"Cummins, don't forget that the TrailerAid system puts ALL of the weight on one side of the trailer onto one tire/axle (for two axle trailer). Keep that in mind if you are right at the load limit with your axles."

I appreciate the advice. I was at or a bit over with that situation. I did the same changing my rotors and replacing brakes and service in general. I did put down the front landing gear and had the truck EB on. As far as loading the tire like that there are many times one tire is carrying all the weight like going over uneven surfaces or parked on uneven terrain. Many thousands of miles doing so with no ill effects. What I like about this system is it works all the time. Bottle jacks unless on SOLID ground are not stable and many situations won't even fit under the axle. No laying on the ground under the RV with one tire flat and axle hanging. Even tho I have the 6 point system I still pack the TrailerAid "just in case" !
