Just thinking out loud here about the wedges you pull up on with your RV to help change a tire. There's always a lot of lively discussion on the MOC about concerns on how things are done. For instance, some of us have always had considerable pushback on jacking by placing the jack underneath the axle in between the spring u-bolts. I think the wedges are great for smaller trailers say around 6,000 lb, not so much for our heavier rvs. It seems odd to me that no one frets about near doubling the weight on the axle sitting on the wedge while you do the task at hand on the tire hanging in free air. Yes I know, some of you that use the wedges have had just as much success as me with my jack between the spring u-bolts. I'm just trying to figure out why near doubling the weight on a given axle even for a short period of time seems to have no fret factor. Like mention previous though, if you have a level up system, why not just use that?
