I was just searching some more.

Instead of jacking on the frame could I put a bottle jack or even a suv scissor jack under the leaf spring plate and jack up from there?
Maybe do one side at a time and put a piece of 2x8 under one wheel at a time to raise it? There would still be 3 wheels on the ground
supporting most of the weight.

It appears that the spring leaf plate is where the axle takes the load of the trailer I guess.
