I have not seen or used but I think for the heavier travel trailers/ 5ers I would be concerned about bending an axle.

Haven't used those exact ones but have used these for transport trailers and they are the cat ******. I am planing on getting a set like this from my smaller trailers this summer to save carrying a floor jack all the time

I've used the Trailer Aid Plus for years and just love the simplicity of it. Additionally, it can be used to assist in leveling the camper, everything should have multiple uses.
I would be very concerned about bending an axle when using a jacking system like the one shown at the top of this thread. That style of jacking system is used on commercial trucks for brake and tire inspections. Commercial trucks have much more robust axles than any RV trailer.
My question to you would be, what purpose do you intend to use those jacks for?
If the answer is for changing a tire, and you have tandem axles, the Trailer Aid is a simpler solution (you don't have to crawl under the camper to position the jack).
If the answer is for Winter storage, then a good set of jack stands placed on the frame of the trailer would also take the weight off of the springs during the storage period.

One thing to be aware of is that these won't work for some rigs with larger axle spacing. The block of 4 2X6s I use to change tires on my tandem cattle trailer won't get an inflated tire off the ground on my Reflection. Like anything else of this nature, try it at home first to avoid the pain of finding out the shortcomings of your equipment on the road somewhere.

By placing the one in the OP just inside the u bolts it won't bend the axle. If you putting it in the center of the axle yeah it probably will but out at the ends no it won't. That's where dealers, tire and spring shop jack them up from
