If connected to the truck and the jacks were fully retracted including having the pads anchored in the first hole rather than the third hole, how many inches is it to the ground? This is just my preference but when I'm traveling, I have my jacks and pads fully retracted. I estimate how high or low I'll need to have the nose once unhooked and put the lego blocks (in my case lynx levelers) under the pads as high as I need to before lowering the jacks to make contact to raise or lower the nose. Sometimes I have to pull the pins to lower the pads and sometimes I don't. If you did that, you could raise your nose approximately 13 inches from where the trailer is while connected to the truck if needed.
