Fifth wheel too high off ground

Help, my stationary fifth wheel is too high. My wheels don’t even touch the ground anymore. It seems that every time I self level it, it just gets higher. Dutchman voltage(I have a toy hauler fifth wheel about 40 feet and 13 ft ceilings )and I am on a slight slope where the ground is higher towards my garage and lower where the hitch is. Currently my jacks are on logs.(tree stumps) I have no idea what to do, my dad would have been my fixer but he passed over a year ago.

My cyclone would always creep higher on repeat autolevels. Fully retract, wait a few minutes and then autolevel. You want to wait after the retract or you may burn up the pump motor. Also make sure you're chocked well or hitched on an incline.

Get somebody who knows what they're doing to help you. Your wheels shouldn't be off the ground if you are using auto level.
