mileshuff, your way will work if you are on level ground and your trailer is level. But if you are on unlevel ground both of the legs of
the landing gear will not touch the ground at the same time, you could have an inch or more difference in the two and if you raise the trailer with the landing gear while there is over an inch of difference in the feet hitting the ground you are going to be twisting the frame.
Basically you want to level your trailer side to side and then drop landing gear and you want both feet with pins in the correct hole to contact the ground at the same time. Now if you have to raise one foot or the other to get the pin in then when you are raising the trailer you will be twisting the frame.
