Lynx levelers here too. These are probably the best purchase we made when we bought our TT. We use them under the tires to level the trailer, under the stabilizers when not on pavement, and under the tongue jack.

Since most (if not all) TT don't come with a jack for changing a flat tire, the lynx levelers can be good for riding one wheel up just enough to give the other wheel some room to come off.

They are light-weight, compact and fit nicely in a truck tool box or the TT cargo hold. They don't slip when the ground is a little wet, or just smooth.

The only "problem" we've had with them is that the color fades significantly in the sun. But that's a minor thing for all the good these do.

I cary a combination of 2/6 and 1/6 planks. Some are 4' in length for use under both axles and others are 12" long for use under individual axles. I DO carry Lego style levels but don't often use them for leveling. They make a quickly set up ramp for use if I need to raise a wheel for a tire change.

Use Lynx Levellers. Used to haul pieces of lumber around but these blocks are by far the best. Havnt wrecked one in the 6 years I've had them.


Yep, me too. Takes 3 packs of them to level safely at the house because of the angle of the street. Used to use boards but when you drive up on one end the other end wants to pop up and I was always afraid of wrecking the under carriage.

We use leveler blocks. Sure not risking my frame! Blocks are clean, simple, light, easy to clean. So far they've worked great for over 100,000 miles.

I used the wood ones I had to start to make a fire.

We have been using the blocks from Wally World for about 6 years now.
Like the weight, makes them easy to use and store.

Another Lynx user here. I have one set but am considering getting a second. After the axle flip on my PUP, one set occasionally doesn't quite get the job done; I usually have to put one or two beneath the stabilizer jacks.

Usually it’s just the orange wedges, but some times it takes a little more

Anyone have any experiences or thoughts about these Level-upp ramps, or the Fiama ramps? I was thinking about those to avoid having to constantly "assemble" the Lego style blocks.

I like the wedges that I use. We have the big level on the pin, just back up till the ball centers. I like them because they are not stepped. We got them at Camping World some years back, I think they still sell them.
