That device is for round tube not square tube axles.

I thought the same thing and it's certainly demonstrated on a round tube axle. Their web site indicates it works on square tubes too. Regardless, it seems to be for lightweight trailers.

I like that scissor jack. When placed under the axle mounting plate, does the handle extend far enough past the tires to make lifting relatively easy?

Lots of ways to do this, but if your TV is a pickup or heavier SUV, please take a serious look at the jack you already are carrying. Is it strong enough? consider is was built to lift one wheel with a load in the bed. I know I mentioned this before. So in reality for me, I'm carrying two pickup truck jacks from a 1 ton and my own 3/4 ton TV. And they have done double duty and been used for fine tuning the leveling.

10 ton bottle jack, if too tall, drive up on a block of wood, why keep trying to invent the wheel and the floor jack is best left in the shop on the floor...

Keep it simple, I use a 12 ton bottle Jack on my 34 footer and use wood blocks for height adjustments
