Default Yellowstone 34FBR 2005 Jack

I bought this 5th new and haven't had a blow-out since now. Searched for a jack to change the tire but was unable to locate. I checked the original sales document and it did not mention a jack of any sort. Is this normal? If so what kind of jack would you recommend for next time this happens.
I also checked the brand, Cooper and all the dealers said that these tires have a tendancy of losing its tread when hot. He was right because that is exactly what happened. Thanks for your help!

They don't come with jacks. Any jack that you can lift the axel with will work, be careful to place the jack as close to wheel as you can. There is also a device that you drive up on with your good tire and it lifts the bad tire off the road, you can get it at camping world. I have done this using leveling blocks too.

Thank you for your response. Do you have any recommendation on the type of jack that would be capable of lifting this rig.

I use one similar to the one in the link. I only use this at home when I'm repacking wheel bearings and checking brakes, I also have 2 jack stands. The model I have is a 3 ton, depending on the weight of your trailer you may need a heavier one. When I'm on the road I have Good Sam emergency road service and I let them change the tire.
