My brother-in-law bought a 2023 View that has levelers. On their first trip, he drove over a wide speed bump which damaged two levelers and bent the housing. They finally got it back from Camping World where it was repaired. Last week, backing the View out of their sloping driveway, the levelers scraped the pavement.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, is there a solution involving having someone shorten the levelers and carrying leveling blocks to compensate for the shorter levelers?
 
Typically, hydraulic leveling cylinders have an array of mounting holes. Is it possible that they could be moved up? Is there room for them to be raised at the frame mounting bolts?

Thank you Randy. I'll run your suggestion by my brother-in-law. He, I fear, is looking into a lift to the frame. He has EQ brand. I told him about HWH but I think he's going the lift route.
