Is this an acceptable way to set up the rig? It almost seems better than putting blocks under one set of fifth wheel wheels because then the pin would not be into the hitch jaws quite right.
How do others adjust for side to side leveling with their rigs?
Level side-side with the =wheels=, using boards or "lego" blocks. Level fore and aft with the jacks. Personally, I level side-side first, then run my front legs down a ways, and drop each leg extension all the way to the ground. I then power out the front legs until the pins snap in and continue to extend until I unweight the hitch. Open the hitch, pull forward and park the truck. Level fore/aft with the front legs, then drop the rear stabilizers to "set" it. I also will use several boards for cribbing under the rear jacks so they don't extend as far and give a bit more stability.
