    Supposedly when he dropped his suspension he lowered he trailer down. I deal with this on a regular basis every winter, the pads can and will freeze down solid.

    Lower the trailer , dump tractor air bags , back under it , reinflate bags.Makes a terrible sound when it busts loose you may rip the shoe off.

    It is no longer an urgent matter, since it was over 24 hours ago.

    Did the OP ever get unstuck? I skipped a few pages.
