I use the Anderson leveler too but I have added outdoor tread tape to them for better grip. They are very smooth plastic and I feel like they work better with the extra grip the tread tape provides. I also have the Linx levelers but have not really had a use for them yet. I bought a Trailer Aid to assist in changing tires (video on my youtube site) and knock on wood that I have not had to use it yet.

Thanks for the great idea. I had not though of that. The surface is asphalt. Perhaps if I laid a barrier sheet of plastic before I pour the concrete ramp, I would be able to later remove it without much damage to asphalt if the situation changes.

We definitely have a great degree of "randomness of precise placement of the tires" I have to figure out a way to work that phrase into something for a T-shirt. I will take some pictures of the progress and post them if it turns out well.

Good point - it would indeed happen with other hitches - but in those cases you would only get the scare with less warning

Actually that sounds even worse lol

You do have a wireless tool it’s called level mate makes the job much easier with Anderson levelers
