It had been up for three days, and when I tried to put it down, the bottom two (larger diameter) cylinders would not slide down. I had someone try jumping up and down in the bed which helped a little, but it still did not go all the way down. I raised the bed several times, but it kept stopping at the same place on the way down. The cylinders look clean, and the fluid is not that old. Any suggestions? Please don't tell me it has to be rebuilt! Or should I say, does anyone know of a good place to have this rebuilt in the Los Angeles area?

It would make sense then that the larger cylinders are not retracting as they produce a lower return pressure than the skinny ones.

There might be a bleeder screw at the top of the cylinder--just crack it slightly and check for air release---if so let it release and cylinder should continue lowering until oil starts coming out close the bleeder.--Our Dragon end dump trailer would get air in the system and do that but was an easy fix.---I'm not familiar with your cylinder or if it has a bleeder screw but check it out.
