Remove fast guns to level camper?
Y'all remove your fast guns to level up? I was with a guy who didn't. He just torqued up the suspension until level. Didn't seem right to me so I removed mine on the maiden voyage. Thoughts?

"I'm one who doesn't always remove the fastguns. The jacks can be deployed and lift, especially the rear, a fair amount and all that is happening is you are unloading the camper weight from the truck. There is no additional stress in the fastguns."
Wait a minute, I'm not sure I agree with that. Aren't you essentially stretching the fastguns out no matter what? And in doing so aren't you putting additional torque and stress on the camper frame attachment points??
It seems to me that the fast guns are attached to the truck FRAME not the bed, and by raising the bed or camper, you are stretching them out and pulling much harder.
Maybe I'm seeing this wrong, but I would never raise the camper without releasing the fast guns.
