Ah OK, I was confused by your signature, says you have a 5er and a TC. I missed the Leprechaun reference at the end. Makes more sense now talking about a C.:)
Doug is right, damage to the piston from overextension is nothing like what it would be with the C rolling off the jack because the back wheels were in the air.
The correct way to level in that situation would be to drive the rear wheels up on boards or Lynx Levelers to get close to level, then use the hydraulics to fine tune. You probably don't want to unload the suspension more than halfway to be sure you have adequate weight and rolling resistance on the tires. That probably makes the effective range on the Bigfoots about 2" +/-. Surprised they told you differently at the factory.
