Does having the wheels on one side off the ground put too much stress on the frame and/or jacks?
Thanks,

No, the system is designed to put equal stress on the trailer. The only time it can cause an unequal load is if for some reason one of your jacks has bottomed out but the other 3 have not.
For example, there is a deep depression behind the right side rear wheel.The level up extends the jacks and the right rear jack bottoms out, but is not lifting the trailer. The sensor is looking for "level", not jack pressure, so the system may continue to extend the right front jack, raising the trailer in the middle only. That would not be good.
Another time you may twist the trailer a bit is if you extend the front jacks all the way. On our trailer, one jack will lift about 1/2' to 1" more on one side. I'm guessing when the mounting pads were welded in they were not equal heights.
Just tried this and although it helped level out a little it did not level out completely. I guess we are going to have to find our level and try leveling manually.
The odds are very good your trailer never had the Level Up calibrated for "level"
It is very easy to do and the instructions are in your manual. The only tool you need is a good level, 4-6' work well, but a 2 footer will do.
Once you calibrate he LevelUp you can use the auto level feature to get back to that setting, or, you can use the manual mode and watch the display and level the trailer that way.
