Hydraulic Jack Clearance Adjustment

I have a 2017 Pinnacle to which the rear jacks often bottom out when driving on changing grades such as enterances to gas stations or across speed bumps.
There are adjustment holes that allow raising the jacks x-inches higher from the ground surface. I have been advised that that could results in jacks reaching extension limits causing the system to malfunction. I can offset by placing x-inch wood beneath each jack. Has anyone experienced this and had the jacks raised without issues.

I raised the jacks on my North Point one notch. I use 4x4 blocks under all my jacks anyway that way they don't have to extend out so much. I have not had any issues.

How many holes did you move? I would not mind putting blocks under jacks. I know the fix for a bent jack is going to be expensive.
