This seems to be the biggest concern everyone has when this question is asked. Think about it, your rear stabilizers cannot jack your rig off the ground! What happens them when you have a flat tire!! Nothing. I have and will continue to use them. And yes I have had a flat tire when using them. No ill effect. There is usually 2"-3" above the slide in the wall opening. You can raise the slide for maintenance, such as replacing the rollers. When 1 tire goes flat on a tandem axle rig, the trailer will only drop about 3" at most. When using stabilizers ( not really jacks ) under the slide, when installing them, you raise them until the touch and then only apply enough pressure to hold them in place. You don't raise the slide. We use them under the living room slide. I have been in campsites that have no trees, no buildings, no hills, or anything to stop the wind. The stabilizers will actually stop the side to side rocking or at least greatly reduce it, been there, done that. There great, wouldn't be with out them.
