I guess they figure lifting just one corner of a trailer could put a lot of stress on the frame. Dunno. Guess that's why they call them stabilizing jacks and not leveling jacks.discovery4us wrote:
I guess I have been doing it wrong. I get close with blocks and then always fine tuned with the leveling jacks. It isn't uncommon for me to lift the trailer an 1" or more with the jacks. I actually find that putting a little extra into each jack helps take the tire and suspension bounce away.
Some of us are just too picky, I suppose! Funny, with my new 5er that has the 6 point self-leveling system, I am at the point now where if it's close, that's good enough, because the leveling system will take care of the difference ... as long as it's close.
