When jacking a trailer till the suspension hangs watch those side links as sometimes they can flip. If it does when letting the suspension down it can cause much more load on one tire and the equalizer bar doesn't work like it should (suspension imbalance). BTDT and its a bear to get the link to flip back in the correct position.
When it does flip back its a big bang.

I always thought it was a bear to switch. Also, until my best friend had it happen to him. We did a YouTube search and it was incredibly easy. Put a jack underneath the properly hung axle and just jack it up. Any other side will flip
