Trailer Legs

New to the site and not sure if this has been discussed before. What are you all's thoughts on trailer legs? These devices apparently let you raise your TT up all at once and can be used to store with tires off the ground or even set up to camp. Your axles rest on them. Now I have heard that is a big NO NO, but these have received pretty rave reviews. I contacted Trailer Legs to express axle concerns and the guy I spoke with who actually designed them stated that since introduced in 2015 he has not heard of anyone having issues with these.
Anyone have any experiences with these?

Personally, I wouldn't trust the trailer frame. They are engineered to cut cost. But, I don't know, maybe they use jacks at the factory.

My instructions say don't jack the trailer via the axle shaft. Apparently the pipe the axle is made of is to thin. The Trailer leg looks like it cradles the axle more than a jack would and it might work. Notice "might". If it bends the axle it will cost a lot of money to fix.

I would give them a pass myself.
