i also carry blocks to keep jacks closer to the frame. i to have the single leg style. i try to park, so level is with in a bubble right or left. i put as much pressure, on the bolts on the jacks on the, low side as it takes to bring trailer level.
one of the fellows i camp with says this won't work. all i can tell you is, been doing it since 1975 an our first 5th wheel travel trailer.
