Most systems will pick up the entire unit off the ground to change one or all tires..... Can you say pit stop!
You must un-hook before leveling - you use the front two jacks to unhitch just like traditional front jacks, then use the auto level system or do manual if your prefer.
On our system. The front and rear jacks do the primary leveling and the side middle jacks are stabilizers - I believe the same for all systems - though not 100% sure about that.
Down side is if they fail 100% you are stuck if none of the trouble shooting helps, other than manually opening hydraulic system to release pressure (fluid) to get jacks up. There are electric systems, although much much slower, you can put them up manually if needed.
If ground is more un-level than the travel of jacks can compensate fir you can block for additional reach as needed.
