I just can't bring myself to manually level the 5th when I have auto-level available, so I never pre-level by putting blocks under the tires.
At first I was concerned about the tires being off the ground, but then postings on this forum convinved me that the jecks are designed to carry the weight of the trailer when the tires are off the ground.
Also, after observing all the Class A's with their front tires off the ground on sites that are barely out-of-level front to back, I am further convinced that tires off the ground is not a problem.
However, on an unlevel site, I do use blocks under any jack where they are needed to prevent the jack being "hyper extended".
