Door frames change as the frame changes during leveling. Normal...we don't have the best frame under these things since the units have gotten longer with the gross weight still being somewhere near 16,000 lbs. As an engineer, I would have also had a stouter lippert frame on units longer than 35 feet...but then cost of the units would be more. All this is my own personal opinion which is worth nothing. But you can measure the diagonal of the door frames when unit is on its springs...then do a level and remeasure. Bet it changes on you from site to site. John
