Interesting that they are only putting 5000 pound jacks on the new Montys. I had the upgrade done at Lippert in 2011 and the front jacks are rated at 16000 pounds each and the wheel jacks are rated at 8000 pounds each for a total lift of 64000 lbs. I was cautioned to make sure the truck is totally disconnected because the jacks will lift the truck off the ground. As to lifting the trailer of the ground with the jacks, several sites I have parked at were so unlevel that wheels on one side have been off the ground. I routinely use the jacks to raise the wheels off the ground the unload the axles if there is not room to pull forward and back enough to do that. I also use the jacks to lift the wheels off the ground when I rotate the tires.
