TM factory to automate rise/lower function

Others of us don't pre-level, preferring to use the jacks to lift the TM into level position. If you are in this group, that's fine. To each his own.

Ok, now is the time for you wise folks to settle a disagreement . What impact, if any, is there on the TM frame if the leveling jacks are actually used to level the TM instead of just using them as stabilizers? The co-owner of my trailer believes that there can/will be torque on the frame by using the jacks as levelers and that this torque will weaken or perhaps even twist the frame.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks!
