Where to place a jack for changing a tire

New Grand Design Transcend 221RB. I have an appointment to get the tires balanced and wanted to know where the jack should be placed. I've heard the axle is a no-no. Thanks.

If your talking rear tires, you can jack right where the springs are mounted to the axle. You don’t want to jack mid axle or the axle housing as the weight of the vehicle could bend the shaft housing. If you have a straight axle on the front, same process would apply.

Right where the springs attach to the axle, but if you cannot get under there, you can use a bottle jack to the frame using blocks to raise the jack high enough to get to the frame.
