Auto Levelers, Wheels off ground on one side

Since acquiring a rig with auto levelers last year, most of my camping has been done in Florida, where sites tend to be pretty level. Recently, we camped in a pull-through site near a lake, where there was a significant downhill slope on the curb side.

By the time the auto-leveler finished, the curb side wheels were about three inches off of the ground. I took my lego blocks and built pyramids, and wedged them under the wheels. Since we were only at the site a couple of days, I left it like that, but I was worried that with no weight on the axles too much weight was being put on the gears that push down the the leveler legs.

I asked a neighbor if he thought that was too much weight on the levelers. He said not to worry, that is what they were made for.

So, I am looking for other opinions. What think ye?

Most of those systems are pretty robust and should =easily= lift the entire rig off the ground. Indeed, many here report using them to jack up their entire rig to change tires and work on bearings and brakes. Usually, though, they'll either crib the frame with blocks or use jack stands for safety.
