Is it safe to level a travel trailer using jack stands to support the axel and leaving the tires off the ground without putting anything under them? I know usually you would put wood blocks down and ...

Your trailer jacks are not intended to LIFT your trailer, but to limit the sway or bounce when set up. When backing up your unit, see how level the unit is, if down on one side, use blocks like 2"x6" to place under the low side wheel's. If you unit is now level, disconnect the tow vehicle from the trailer, and then use the trailers jacks to stabilize your unit. In no instance should you have your wheels off the ground, unless you are changing a tire.
Read it again. Not using the Stabs to raise the TT. Jack stands under the axle.
Which could still be a bad idea. Put the jack stands to far out on the axle, and you could bend them. Just raise the TT, and put them under the frame.
