after I do this, I even go as far as parking the boat and trailer,
jacking it up and putting it on wheel stands so there is no weight on
the tires or springs. trailer stuff seems to last longer



"Wheel stands". Yes, that is the key words that I should use to look
for them. I have been thinking of using them. But I didn't know what
they are called. Good. Now, I can use the right terms to ask the
salesman in the store. Thanks.



AKA "Jack stands".

Maybe it's a regional thing.


By the way, do you need a wheel stand for the front wheel that is made
from hard plastic?



Nope.

Us 'poor folk' use blocks. I had some 8" x 8" treated posts left over
from a deck project that I use.
