jack damage

[Jingle]

First time out with our 3121 and the RV fun has just begun! While turning in to fuel up I hit a curb followed by a crater followed immediately by another curb. DW said I must be looking for a hobby because I have one now. lol.



I have two questions:
1. The jack is not damaged, only the bracket that supports the jack is bent. I am thinking about using a come-along to straighten the jack is there a more elegant method?


2. I have a six point system. The front Jack's have one hole showing and (as you can see from the picture) the rest four jacks have four holes showing. How far up should I move the jacks to provide adequate ground clearance and still maintain rig stability when the jacks are extended. ( We do not boondock or park on unimproved sites.)


Thanks again for your help. Y'all have saved my bacon many times already!
