Slide Out Stabilizer Jacks

No you shouldn't use them for the reasons already mentioned.
Also, please turn off your caps-lock as it makes your post difficult to read and is considered yelling.

The answer to the question is `Yes'. Someone uses them. The better question would be `Should I use jacks on the slide?' This has been discussed previously and the consensus is NO.
The latest issue of Trailer Life (August 2013) discusses this topic in the RV clinic section and one part states `Although is should not be necessary, if you choose to put stabilizer jacks under a slideout, just support the weight to prevent sagging, don't push up...'

Never used stabilizers and after 19 years still works great.

X2 and add a few more years with 5 different units.

Our slideout is 14ft long and 4ft deep. We have had as many as 8 people sitting in it (dining table and couch) during family events.

There are those that use them, but many RV manufacturers advise not to do so. If for any reason there is a shift in the position of the RV, it is possible dammage to the slide or mechanism may result.
