Not only that there is an entire forum titled:

Jacks, Stabilizers, Lifting and Leveling

All kinds of uplifting advise there.

I also use Discount Tire for all my 6 vehicles
. When we got the new 2005 classic last year the PO had installed or the year before installed new Michelin tires. I took AS to the local shop to have tires rotated and balanced, which they did at not charge me to do.. Good will and put me on life time balance program

One of the guys came out with the big floor jack and wanted to put jack under water tank. I told him that was not a good place and showed him the proper place on the frame rail behind the tire.

He picked up the entire side and took both tires off at a time to balance. they did that for other side as well.

SO moral of story is they, DT, can handle the tires and you need to MAKE sure they know where to put jack to not damage water tanks. I am sure they can break down teh tire as well and put TMPS in there for a charge I would guess.

IF the trailer has GYM on it you might look to go ahead and upgread to better tires as well.. two birds, one stone.
