Maybe your rig is an exception, but it's my understanding that most levelers/stabilizers aren't designed to support the kind of loads put on them if lifting the rig clear of the ground....nor are those points on the rigframe where the levelers are attached typically designed/ equipped to bear such loads.
I seriously doubt this. If a manufacturer put a jack system on a coach that couldn't support the full weight, think of the liability. If you raised your coach just a little too high and a jack failed, they'd be liable?
My W22 Pace has 4 7.5klb jacks. That's a total of 30Klbs. Coach weighs 22Klbs. And as stated above, the way they are mounted is more substantial than the way the suspension is mounted.
Agree with concerns about the hydraulic lines, IF it's hydraulic. Spring a leak, you've got an issue.
Agree also that OP said nothing about getting under the coach.
