I'm no engineer but I don't think that is how it works. All the blocks do is reduce the drop of the legs. The ram on the inside goes to the bottom and the pin box goes up to the same height with or without blocks. The blocks do make the leg drop shorter which reduces the movement of the trailer when set up.

I'm trying to decide if I'm losing some pressure on the ram seal and because of that not getting full extension or if I need to move the pin box up. I still have one hole left but that will put the overhang very close to the truck bed side rails. I bought a small compressor today so I can inflate the trailair after I hitch up. I'm not crazy about that but I can live with it until I get back home.

Duane above has a similar 5er and the same truck and if I read his post right he is having the same problem. If that's the case then my rams are OK and I either have to deflate to hitch and unhitch or move the pin box up a hole and see if that helps. Anyway, thank you for the response.
