there is say 200 lbs pressure caged in the Torklift basic spring load turnbuckles. this pressure is currently placed between the camper and truck attachment points.
I expect as you lower the camper jacks, the truck both will show movement as the truck springs "unload" weight that is not applied to the camper jacks.
I think you will need to lift MORE THAN 200 lbs weigh on EACH turnbuckle before you will see the turnbuckles springs start to deflect.
so I am thinking you can lift 200lbs on each turnbuckle X 4 = 800 lbs before you start to extend turnbuckle spring
