Leveling with 6 point leveling system
For those who have auto leveling, do you level before you put your slides out or after?

To answer the OP question, always slides out After leveling.
For those discussing wheels off ground, the user is doing it wrong.
1) Get a level.
2) BEFORE disconnecting truck, verify level side-side and drive onto boards/ramps/etc. according to side-level requirement (get it close).
3) Check back/front level and EXTEND front jacks accordingly before using auto-level..
If ground/trailer is NOSE HIGH then let out less extension, to allow auto level to drop nose after front legs are grounded.
If ground/trailer is NOSE LOW then let out More extension to allow auto level to lift nose higher.
4) Go hit the auto-level and let it do it's work (it will ALWAYS raise/lower to adjust the front jacks first and then extend/level the rest).
If you do not pay attention to the proper EXTENSION on the front jacks then you will not allow the nose to drop down or raise up and the auto-level system will have to lift the tires off of the ground.
lots of people drop the extensions to the ground, unhook truck and then watch the level system life the trailer off the ground because the only place it has to go to get level is UP!~
