Dave, that's Lippert doing "CYA" advice (IMHO). We've been to un-level sites for days on end with one side or the other well off the ground, like 3" to 4" off of the ground and NO issues. I would think you 'might' be able to raise your trailer just long enough to remove a tire and or hub for inspection or whatever and not really put yourself in harms way. Of course you should place safety stands or blocking just in case.
I'm sure others will concur. Think about this, when you drop your trailer the front jacks will hold up the front end indefinatley. I know now that my front jacks have been replaced my trailer stays up with NO slipping down! Just my 2 cents though YMMV.
