Always.
Though I would & do because I don't like movement underfoot, primarily because our campers manual states the jacks should be extended before deploying the slide. As all its weight is transferred to outside of counter-levered 10' wall that has 8' hole in it kinda makes sense to me, so do. Other than that just a personal comfort choice.
After leveling truck, deploy jacks then the slide before turning off engine. If more than snugging the jacks I release tie-downs. If need to use jacks to lift camper I remove the tie-downs- I find its just to easy to bump a bit more.
