My leveling strategies:
Most common (fairly level site). Use the jacks without unhooking the fast guns. I have developed a pretty good feel know for how far I can go before I start trying to lift the truck. (You can check by "pulling" on the fast guns and see if the spring still has some give).
Greater slopes. Combine the jacks with three sets (30) of Lynx levelers. Use the levelers to get close and finish and fine tune with the jacks as above.
Really bad site. Use the levelers as best I can. Generally I try and make sure the blocks get me left - right level at the least. Then disconnect the fast guns and use the jacks. For some sites I have ended up with, for example, a three or four inch gab between the back of the camper and the truck bed.
