If I place a 4x4 across between the landing gear supports with the jack in the center is the structure of the frame strong enough to support it? Must I jack each side up separately? Thanks for your help.
I have the same issue at our usual boondock site. I pull in, level SxS, chock the wheels, then power down the landing legs nearly to the ground (~2') before dropping the extensions; maybe 6-8", max. I unhitch, then drop the nose of the FW to level. It's usually about 18". I always do this hooked to the truck, with the engine running, since I'm running the jacks so much.
