It's the wood block thingy a page up from this one - The blocks form sort of a "V" that bridges the bottom of the vertical flanges welded to the axle.

Not sure what the v-block solution is. Didn't turn up anything on Google.

The v-block solution is a good one. I'm making popcorn right now, waiting for FR and the axle manufacturer to weigh-in on why we are all going to ruin our pods (and void the warranty) for doing this...

Levitation is still preferred, but that comes in a close 2nd place.

In response to the levitation supporters .... I finally made a block that bridges the axle and rests on the flange tabs on both sides ( from scrap 2x4's - 9", 6", 6") .... is this OK? or is levitation still the preferred model.  See how it supports both flanges on my DIAGONAL axle. Does NOT touch axle.  side view .... works great! I may replace the cross-over 2x4 with a 2x6.  |

There are two different brands used that I know of. You could probably put a 2x4 block across the flanges on one side of the axle and jack there. |

Levitation ,,, Schmevitation!
Heres my diagonal axle with flanges. Im wondering how many "styles of axles" are out there? I'm still thinking about grooving a 4x4 with a 'V' notch to span axle and contact flanges.  |
