I run the landing gear down about 4 inches, drop the leg extensions onto a 2 X 6 block, then raise each leg extension until the pin snaps into place. If 1 leg is off the block more than about 1/4 inch from the other one, I pull the pin on the shorter leg, raise it and add a 2 X 6 to that side. I then drop that leg again, and raise it back up until the pin snaps in again. This has worked everytime I have done it, without fail. The reason I lower the legs about 4 inches before dropping the extensions, is in case the front of the trailer needs to be lowered below it's position when it was on the fifth wheel plate.
I hope that's clearer than mud.
