Sounds like you have things pretty much sorted out and Wjnn provided the correct description of what might be happening.
My camper weighs about 4200lbs loaded. Sticker weight is 2600..hahahaa. The old way many mfg weighed their campers was called wet weight... Water and propane. BUT, no fridge, mattress, oven, heater, water heater etc. In other words bare!
My HJ's, same model # pull <>35 amps when raising the camper. Any binding, groaning and there is more.
Do your Jacks sound like they are binding when you start to raise the camper? More so when lowered way down?
When I lower my camper way down and a leg shifts even less than an inch, especially a front one the slight binding will cause the assembly to groan. Couple this with the jack screw lube drying out or...rusting then all hell breaks loose.
The sound of the motors and gears should sound the same whether you have the camper down a foot or all the way down.
When you go to tear the jacks apart pay very close attention to the sequence of the washers and bearings. I use a 1/2" drill to run the jack screw in and out to clean the old grease etc out.
