leveling

I don't even bother counting the holes. I just lower the landing legs a bit, then drop them till one hits the ground/block, then the other one, and try to get them as close to a hole as possible. It doesn't matter at all to the trailer if the legs are even or not.

As the above poster mentioned though, if they are electric, I'd pull them up all the way, take a measurement, then drop them to the ground and see if the travel is the same on both sides. If the gears are the same they should be. And double check how level your pad actually is where the pads touch.

It depends if your front jacks are electric or hydraulic.
If you know your pad is level, and you are just questioning the one jack coming down before the other starting to move, or one seems to be behind the other. That is OK and normal in an hydraulic system, once they both get back pressure they will equalize and lift the unit together equally.
If the jacks are electric, they both should come down at the same time, if they don't you have a gear problem on the lagging jack.
If you are still in doubt about level, put a 4 or 6 foot level in the 5th wheel several places and see what it is. As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. LOL

I always kept the legs the same level, even if I had to put a board or lynx leveler to even them up. I took a magic marker and marked the holes on the inside of the leg and that way I didn't have to actually count 1,2,3,etc. Drop to about 1" above ground, check for being level and work from there.

When storing put plywood under the wheels. Refer to www.michelinrvtires.com

Put a 1" board under the high leg to keep everything even.

It can't be that level if it's doing as you described. I always try to have my landing gear lift equally, but, they are individually adjustable.
