Slide Alignment / Adjustment

I setup my trailer and noticed the slide was nowhere near level with the trailer level. To get the slide level, which is what our bed attaches to, I had to put 3" under one side of the trailer.

Is there a way to adjust the slide so they are aligned with the trailer body?

    On your rig, what kind of slide do you have? Is it a Lippert, Schwintek or other?

    How would I determine that? It has 4 cables one top and bottom of each side.

    Can't see picture cause it's way too large.......so it's useless


    Does the slide extend/retract evenly when in motion? Or does it go out cocked?

    Does it seal top/sides/bottom when fully open and closed? Or are there gaps?

    Sorry for the large picture. The slide appears to go out straight without binding. How to I check the seals on top and bottom? Can I stick my finger under the rubber wiper and feel them?
