So far y'all have been life savers... so here is another situation I need some guidance on!

My 4270 is currently parked on a downhill slope, the front end is closer to the ground than the rear.
I am in process of having a slab poured and a carport built. In the meantime, I really need to level her out... the issue is when I lift the front end to where I have 10-12in from the ground then raise the rear end to level it out my back tires come up off the ground! This can not be good!!!

It was recommended to me to put blocks under the wheels and the jacks.
With that being said, I currently do not have a way to move my 4270 in order to put leveling blocks down for my wheels!!!
Is there a way I can jack it up to put them under there??? Maybe a 3Ton floor jack???

any and all help is much appreciated!!!

It's not a problem to have the tires of the ground, unless it bothers you. My rig has been sitting with four wheels off the ground for the past four months.
You do not need 12 inches of ground clearance so you could just lower the front and back.

Peace

Envisioning your rig being largely off level, you need to be super vigilant when jacking up the rig to put levelling blocks under the wheels, lest the entire rig falls off the jacks. I would jack up one axle side at a time to keep the other 3 wheels and landing gear on the ground to keep it in place. I would also use tire chocks (between wheel pairs type and on downhill sides of single tires) on the remaining 3 tires, and a jack stand on the axle you are working on. I would probably do just 1 levelling block height raise on each axle and then keep moving around the rig. I might even drive nail type tent stakes into the ground around the front landing gear foot pads to keep the landing gear from sliding on the ground.

I hope you haven't been operating your refrigerator while the rig is in this unlevel condition. Operating an ammonia coolant RV refrigerator in a rig that is not level is the number one cause of RV refrigerator cooling unit failure.

BTW: I use a 4 ton bottle jack (with cribbing, if needed) for jacking the trailer.
