I don't think you should be too hard on yourself. Sure seems like leveling jacks should level within their range of motion without breaking things.
I seem to remember being advised to do the front and rear first, starting with whichever is lower, then doing the sides. The reason being to make contact with the ground before doing the sides, because having only one side contact the ground can start a twisting force on the frame and structure. Maybe the front and rear pairs to equalize to push down with the same force. Anybody know for sure?
Sorry that happened, and it seems like if the jacks went in pairs, that they should start initially with an equalizer valve, so that they actually do push in pairs. As opposed to moving in pairs, but the first one that hits the ground continues lifting while the other one is not quite there.
I don't see how the front or rear first would make any difference, though, just remember being told that.
Did you get the windshield back in the frame ok?
One should ALWAYS do the front first....that stabilizes the frame under the windshield before proceeding with the rest.
