Agree. Not one of those saying "No problem" have anything personally invested themselves if the OP does eventually discover that allowing one axle set to repeatedly elevate off the ground does cause an issue long term. :M The trailer manufacturer intended and designed the weight of this trailer to be supported on all four tires ... use them. ;)

FWIW, we had a similar debate several years ago on another forum about using a ramp on a trailer's low side for leveling and many of us, after our own extensive testing and considerable discussion, concluded it was a poor idea as there's no question that in doing so one axle is subjected to significantly more force than it's mate. One can agree or disagree all they want but the fact remains that the trailer was designed with dual axles for a reason, with each axle set supporting similar amounts of weight, not significantly different amounts. It's the same reason that when camping one would want to elevate both tires on the trailer's low side, regardless of whether one is using wood, Lynx, or even Andersen Levelers - BOTH low side tires elevated similarly.

As far as parking your trailer on a sloped driveway, one doesn't need to go to extremes to prevent any trailer from inadvertently rolling away - simply use the weight of the trailer bearing down on a set of wheel pads with chocks affixed to the pads, just as I've already illustrated, to prevent the trailer from rolling forward. It's a simple concept and it works. :p
