Here's part of a post I found on Walleyecentral.com...It sounds like it would work and in a pinch is a good work around...
"all you need to carry to change the tire on the trailer is a good jackstand. They are lighter to carry and easier to use. Just lower the front of the trailer with it on its tongue jack. Next, place the jackstand behind the tire about six inches or so. Next, raise the tongue jack raising the front of the boat. It will lift the tire off the ground allowing you to change it. Don't forget to loosen the lugs prior to raising it. it works fast, easy, and is usually safer than many floor jacks. Don't forget to block the other tire while doing this if you are on a slope."
