Watch it again. The bottom of the jacks didn't move. The top of the jack was bending.
Knowing he war far enough out of level that he was going to raise his tires off the ground, he should have used boards to raise that side of the trailer, placed his chocks on the boards and then leveled his rig with the jacks. That way even if he still lifts some weight off of the suspension his tires will still be chocked.
Your jacks look much more substantial than his do.
I prefer to learn from others mistakes. It is cheaper than learning from my own. We are shopping for a new fifth-wheel now. And it will most likely have the 6 point leveling system. I know what I learned from that video will help me make a good decision if I am on a very unlevel site.
