Leveling Question

Out of curiosity, do those of you that have the drop legs on their middle and rear jacks use them? I generally do not, using wood and or the leveling leggos only. But I've started getting out of stoke errors more often and thought maybe I'd start to use them.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I only use lego blocks. I stack them up to the bottom of the jacks so they stroke very little. That keeps them from over stroking. Longer the jack extends or using the adjustable leg will make it less sturdy.

I use the Andersen buckets for the same reason. Never had a out of stroke condition with them

I lower the middle and rear jacks to the second notch and have had maybe 1 out of 10 out of stroke errors and that has been in extremely unlevel sites. They would not have made them adjustable if it weren't for a reason. I only use legos on the front landing gear if I'm more than two inches out of level from side to side in the front.

I drop the adjustable legs everytime. I also use wood planks under tires to get to 1.5 degrees or less to reduce the need for jack extension.
