We just took delivery of our new '08 3326 and had to park it in front of our house because it wouldn't fit in our driveway as we had hoped.

We leveled the trailer using the '2-step' method outlined in our trailer manual. We leveled front to back with the tongue jack and then raised the rear low corner using the scissor jack--4.5" was required--see attached. We then lowered the other 3 jacks to stabilize. Since some effort was required, we'll use our yet to be purchased bottle jack for this in the future. This left the curb side tires about 2.5 inches off the ground. We placed blocks under those.

The dealer said the scissor jacks could not be used for leveling. The manual says you can. I've seen mixed comments on this on the forum--possibly due to different year TM's. A call to our dealer's factory rep said this is the proper procedure and having one side tires off the ground does not damage the axels. He said they're designed for this as in changng a tire.

Would appreciate some comments from the collective wisdom on this issue.
