Bowcat,
I’m new to the scene and not as well versed as others, but I have read on here and the FB group that if it’s sagging too much, you will need to jack it up, let it sit and adjust, and then try some more. Where are you located in Texas? I would be curious to see what the sag looks like and what to look out for.

I am located in Pampa, Texas. Put a square against the frame and the floor under your slide, it should be a 90 degree angle. Mine is approx. 3/16" - 1/4" off. This is durle to the weight of the slide out when extended. The outriggers should help.

I have the outriggers ready to install, but am now confused because it doesn't square up. Have any of you had this issue? And did you go ahead an install the outriggers?
Once the floor frame is bent, it will take some doing to get it to square up. I saw that it has already been suggested to jack it up, let it sit, then jack some more. Hopefully, that will work for you.
