I'm about to upgrade equalizers and shackles, so I need to remove at least two wheels at the same time from one side of the rig. Morryde actually recommends lifting so that all 4 wheels can be removed simultaneously.
I was planning to stay hitched to the TV, use a heavy-duty bottle jack and some jack stands and do just one side of the trailer at the time -- two wheels, not four. But then I saw this video:

Check out the sequence between :47 - 1:05. They (a shop that probably does it this way all the time) lower the front leveling jacks, place jack stands behind the wheels, then raise the front until the wheels on both sides are off the ground.
I'm pretty sure my leveling jacks are powerful enough to do this -- sometimes AutoLevel leaves the wheels off the ground without me even trying!
Is this technique a good idea? The Solitude has a really powerful *looking* frame. . . Looking for feedback.
