Jacking up Left Rear Tire on '04 Bambi 19'

[sbair]

Hi,

I'm trying to jack up the left rear tire and I am having a difficult finding a jack spot underneath near the axel. In my manuel, section C-5 (I think) it shows a picture indicating the 'jack point' is between the rear stabilizer and the tire. Only problem is that's the sewer side. Nothing but solid smooth surface underneath except for a small bend out piece of metal. I tried this point with a 2x4 on top to distribute the weight--the ball joint ? to the tire interfered for a good fit.

I need to know where to put my small hydraulic jack underneath my 2004 Safari Bambi, left side tire. If you've jacked up your outfit before, give me a shout and tell me how you did it.
Thanks,
Rick

After getting an axle bent from someone jacking in the wrong spot we use the plastic ramp exclusively even at tire shops. I have to drive it on and they do not mine. The ramp is inexpensive and we have a 28' that weighs 8200 lbs. Works like a charm.

Only works on a dual axle trailer. Bambi typically only has one axle..,,

I found the spot to jack up 19' Bambi ('04) on the left. I couldn't see it just looking under the trailer, on your back, crawl under and you will see a sticker saying Jack with arrow. From that sticker location, look for a row of rivet heads from the rear of the trailer towards the front of the trailer in a 'straight' line. This is where the frame is and that is where you put the jack. I used a 6" 2x4 on top of my 2 1/2 ton barrel hydraulic jack and it worked fine.
