Firstly, you can't compare a TT frame to a bridge. The span and trusses of a bridge are designed with a HUGE margin of safety. The TT frame is designed to be as light as possible and still be functional.
Secondly, the video you provided 100% condredicts your techique. Your technque is backwards. The auto leveler adjust the front landing jacks to LEVEL front to back before any other pads come in contact with the ground. At no time are any of the pads placing a large moment load on either frame beam. The load is being adjusted evenly throughout the whole process. Your technique applies a large moment on the frame when you are raising the front jack after the rear is blocked up.
I didn't want to get into a pi$$ing contest with anyone. My post was to point out to a newbie with a long 33'+ trailer that this is not the way to either level or stabilize a long TT. They may try it and wonder why their new TT is swaying uncontrollably on the way home.
