I've a plate cut from a leaf spring which fits under the bogies, the arch is just right for easy in and out. I set a bottle jak under the center of the bogie mount and take a strain, then insert the plate and let the air out of the bag and jack it up, My jack bottom is narrow enough to put a piece of cribbing 4x4 on each side of it and still have the bogie mount take the load. Cribbing it properly does surround the jack, so I have 2 to raise the rear. This does, however, leave a jack on each side inside the cribbing as a sort of safety catch should something go wrong. I won't gop under one unloess it's cribbed with sturdy lumber.
