FWIW, I've never had my front jacks scrape, even getting into our boondock site. The ones on my Komfort hang down a max of about 5" from the front of the FW if I pull them all the way up. AFAIK, that's been exactly 1 time in 11 years that I've owned it, as I've not wanted to chance breaking the shear pin on the motor. Also, they take so long to move that I regularly leave them down about 8-10 inches.

The OP said they have a 6 point leveling system and to me that would be hydraulic. No shear pin and raise and lower automatically--even remembering the height the trailer was unhitched and returning to that height for easy re-hitching. I have seen some of these that, to me, look low even when retracted. Add to that any rear truck sag and I can see them scraping in the right (or rather wrong) situation.
