Jacking up WhiteHawk

What is the proper way to jack up a WhiteHawk? I put a single jack between the two wheels with a piece of wood on the top but that seems to put a lot of weight on the middle frame piece where the two springs attach.
I was trying to lift the whole side to do bearing maintenance.

I have a Jayflight - I simply use a bottle jack under the frame just in front of or behind the axles. I use scrap wood as cribbing under the jack to get the height I need. Process is the same on your Whitehawk...

Definitely need to engage the chassis frame, not the box's frame that the walls mount to. I am getting a set of Anderson Rapid Jacks for my wheel servicing. Two of them (one on each side) allow you to raise two wheels for servicing at a time. Even one would be fine; you can only do one wheel at a time (working alone). But I am going with tow of them so I can easily rotate the wheels and have less jacking to do.
