I  got a swivel one.  Look at something like this.
Lots of choices, I have a dirt/gravel alley then concrete, so I got one that has 2 wheels instead of one so I can move it part way out into the alley.

Have you considered getting a different receiver with more of a drop or rise so that you get a little more clearance on the leveling jack. The receivers can go from straight, to 2" rise,3!/2" rise 4 " rise ?
Just a thought. If that doesn't work, another option is cutting a bit off with a saws-all and use a bigger block when disconnection

I have a question about the leveling jack.  Is the shaft of the tongue jack supposed to crank up so that it is flush with the bottom of the tube?  I really need about 2" clearance there for my driveway and it seems to hang down about 3 inches even when fully retracted.  That is the only problem I'm having with my inclined driveway & scraping.  We've tried the 2x10 boards and it just takes too much time and too confusing to use them while navigating an incline while at the same time turning in and out of the driveway. If I lift the hitch to the TV, the back end of the pod would scrape so I can't do that..... I need to get it resolved or DH says the Pod is going to storage.  Is there a replacement tongue jack that would work? I don't mind spending a bit of money - it would be cheaper than paying for storage.
What if I had it cut it down some and just brought extra blocks for leveling when needed???  Is that totally stupid to consider? Any help from all your RVing experience would be appreciated!!!
