I was just looking back through old pictures on page 1. I'm worried your rear leveling jacks aren't going to give you enough travel to do much lifting. Is that an optical illusion? I think mine are mounted closer to the pavement and I've had times where they reached the end of their travel and I still need more. I carry a whole bunch of pieces of micro-lamb to use for shimming them up. I don't know if micro-lamb is the correct term for it. It's that engineered stuff that framers use to make a wide opening. Like above a garage door or large window. It's like plywood but much thicker and more dense. It's the only stuff I've found that holds up to the abuse I put on it. And it's free. Just keep dumpster diving wherever new construction is going on. They always toss pieces of it.
