Can't see how there is any correlation of the CHF and wheels being off the ground when leveling other than coincidence. It does not change the travel of the suspension, it just changes the resistance. And no, having fronts off the ground is not an issue. All that said, I never use the auto level function. It does some weird stuff including lifting wheels off the ground when they don't really need to be. I use manual mode to level. Same result with less drama. My auto level was causing some major body twist and I really don't understand why it does what it does sometimes. I can level in half the time with less frame stress doing it manually.
Since you don't say anything about it, I'm assuming you've never adjusted the sensor for your auto-leveling system. I don't know what kind of system you have but, in our coach, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT, we have the HWH Computer Controlled Automatic Leveling System. It worked flawless for quite a few years then, for some odd reason, it got out of whack.
I did about 5 minutes research on the net and found the adjustment procedures. It took me about 3-4 minutes for adjustment and, the auto -leveling system is now flawless again.
As for wheels off the ground, NOPE, NEVER DONE IT. I take just a minute or two to place a couple of ramps and, drive up on them. Then, a block or so under the jacks for fine tuning and in the end, it took me about 5 minutes and I have 10 points touching the ground for stability and leveling. And the coach is not tweaked in any particular direction.
