purchased new 6.13.  used 3 times and have sorted everything out.  changed factory jacks for scissor jacks-much easier to level with cordless drill.  Installed heavier axle to accommodate 14" tires for better towin and ground clearance.  new converter.  asking 1/2 of what we have in it--$7000.
located in central NC. for pics  email to jdavidillon@yahoo.com.

Scissor jacks are not meant to be used for level, they should only be used to stabilize the trailer Read this

[p]On a Quicksilver the trailer is so light I bet the scissor jacks could pick up the trailer with no problems! [/p]

Its not a matter of if the jacks can do it, the concern is about the stresses on the frame. You can risk twisting or stressing the frame if you actually lift the unit by the jacks.

With that said I must admit that I have used mine in a situation where I had no choice but to use my jack legs to level my QS10.0 and did not notice any ill effects. It was only a couple of nights so I dont know what the long term effects would be.
