Thanks to all for the reply! I decided to stick with the original size tires and purchased Maxxis st235 80r16 E tires. The ridiculous back and forth between LT vs ST was too much for me hahaha.

I would sooner think that the rear stabilizers were "talking" to you due to the excessive strain that you were applying to them by raising your front landing gear while the rears were extended down. Check to see if the rears extend and retract without binding and or making any kind of weird noises.
This is the first lesson of many you will have as an RVer. No problem, we have all had many types of booboo experiences and there will be others to come. Learn by your mistakes and be sure to ask and tell of your experiences on this RV.net forum.
Probably in the future it would be just as easy for you to retract your slides normally and let the slide seals sweep any excess water off. That is what they are designed for. In case of “solid’ debris, pine needles, branches, leaves, or pine cones, it would be best to manually sweep these off with a broom before retracting your slides. Happy camping to you.

'New' to you but a used trailer......check the DOT tire date (on inside sidewall----4 digit number. First 2 are week/second 2 are year of mfg. EX: 3713 37th week of 2013)

Raising the nose of a TT/5th whl/MH is pretty much common practice to dump water off the top of a slide before closing the slide to prevent water running down the slide wall once the slide is closed and soaking the carpets etc.
