I dont have the bigfoot system but I do have the lippert 6pt automatic leveling system. Are you wanting to get an automatic system?

I have a question. When the automatic systems are activated, do they drop all of the jacks at the same time, maintaining a level camper as they raise it up, or do they lower one jack at a time?
I was wondering if the system twists the frame at all while operating.

This is the way mine set up. after I pull out my truck and select auto level the front jacks retract about 8-10 inches. the middle and rear jacks extend the ground. The front jacks now extent when all jacks are even they all extend bringing the tires about 1 2/2" off the ground the it does its staging front to back then right to left when the system is satisfied it lowers the camper down till the wheels are firm on the ground. there is minor twisting but its not as much as when you are pulling your camper down the road. when mine was installed I was told that it will not damage the frame. I have had mine for just over a year now and I love it.

Very interested in this also, you'll find a post from me from about 2 months ago. I was talked out of this exact same system from fear of twisting the trailer while on the jacks. Not to the point of deformation, but doors unable to open for example.

When I select auto level it takes about 30 seconds to complete. I haven't had any problems with the doors. when I pull into a park I unhitch plug in power then auto it does everything. after it is finished I let the slides out I haven't had any problems with the slides. to me it was worth every penny.
