my front right dump valve is sticking so I cant air that side up, I got a plug in it so I can air it up and move it around at least.
My question is I have 2 jack stands, if I fill the rear... throw jacks under the front, drain the tanks and pull the front right valve out to clean it out will I lose rear bag pressure? I dont want to get crushed hahahaha.

Yea the back will drop since there won't be any back pressure holding the rear bag's valves closed. I'd get another set of jack stands, even the $10-15 2-ton Wal-Mart ones work great.
Can you just jack the front up, throw stands under it, make sure it's safe.. THEN slowly lay the back out, and THEN drain the tank? That way there's no surprises.. the rear is already laid out so no worry of it slamming down.
Just be careful man, good luck w/ the valve.

Yeah i dont wanna put that pressure on my bed though since it weighs a ton and bend the stilts or anything like that with it all laying on the back I would if the bed didnt lay flat on the ground laid out normally

Oh yea, I didn't notice that from your avatar until now.. hmm.. you could put some in line ball valves before the rear bags, lift the rear.. shut them off. I've used cheap plastic ones from Lowes for emergencies when my valves have stuck before to either keep air in the bags, or keep air from leaking into the bags lol.
That.. or the original option of another cheap set of jack stands, maybe a neighbor or friend has a set?

Yeah I'll get another set was just wondering before I go spend money on more or borrow some haha.
Yeah its stuck cuz had to replace a line in the dirt at 1st couldnt lay it out without drainging tanks and when tanks would fill so would the left front, fixed that pebble stuck in the valve, now the other side doesnt wanna air up hahaha. I used a 1/2" plug to keep air in the bag so I could at least drive it around but it sucks not layin it out haha. welp going to go fix it real quick after i get jacks thanks though!
