Just some fun!

What do you use to raise the low tire?

I use Lynx blocks.  I've had the same set for six years (used them on our old tent trailer too) and they're still going strong.  I like how light they are, how compact they store and how sturdy they are.

Used the lynx blocks but purchased the Bal leveler this year.  Only used it once but so far I like it.  Especially since my corded drill I keep in the pod has enough torque to raise and lower it.  Also like the fact that the drive on the Bal is the same size as my stabilizer jacks.  So the drill and drop cord are the first things I unpack and I'm leveled up in no time flat!!!

 I just use a few 2x8 planks that I can back up on and a couple of plastic wheel chocks.
   I also carry a couple of 3/4 inch  pieces 8 inches square.   Goose

Wood planks of all different sizes that I carry in a bin.  I have had some of them from the pop-up camper.  It works for me. Plus if i need something to help start the fire I have it.

I use the Lynx-type blocks, but thinking of getting a Bal leveler.

Lynx for me.  They're light, easy to store and clean.

Lynx, but I still carry the 2 boards I used for years.  Some times I'll use them under the corner jacks if they are especially high off the ground or in the mud/sand.

I use a BAL and it stores in the pass though (I have a 172)...I also carry a 6X6x18(?I'll have to measure to be sure) block of wood that I put in the tongue.  Saves on cranking up and down.
