Accident stabilizer jack help

I have a 284bhok. Pulled into a spot tonight and was preparing to set everything up. I leveled out side to side went inside to check level found that i needed up to front to back so I lowered the tongue without raising the stabilizer jacks up. I only went 2 inches off the tongue until I heard the stabilizer jacks digging into ground and stopped. Just wanting to know if I could have done damage.

I doubt you've done any harm, unless there's something visibly obvious that you see. You just put a lot more pressure on them. They're probably rated at 5,000 lbs each. Our TT is much smaller, but I've dropped our front jacks, and changed the tongue jack twice.

Are your stab jacks power or manual?

My power say not to support trailer with them, they also say, once they contact the ground hold the power button for 2 seconds longer and stop or they could be damaged. Only real way for you to know is to take them up all the way and back down, since it’s on the ground and not asphalt, you’re prob ok, but at least reset them to relieve extra pressure,
