For a dual axle TT, which leveler system do you suggest? I'd like to find a brand that will raise both wheels. The Andersen seems more narrow that the tire tread, so part of the tires will hang off--not a good idea. The Lynx Leveler is wide enough, but will it go between the two tires, so both can be raised?

...or should I just make some levelers out of 2 X 8's?

Yes the Lynx fit between the wheels & in my opinion the easiest to use & most versital. WalMart have them.

A vote for the Andersen levelers. The tire contact patch is much narrower than the tread, so in my opinion that is not a problem. The ease of use and the ability to get level in one step make it our choice (for both our single and double axle trailers).

A few 2 x 8 boards or stackable plastic levelers will work fine.

I love my Andersens.

When we were still trailering, instead of motorhoming, I used the Andersens and loved them.

We have been using the Lynx Levelers for the past ten years and have like them enough that we have not been tempted to try anything else. The are very durable and versatile.

When our Lynx levelers wear out or we get sick of them, we will switch to the Andersons. Until that day, we'll keep using our levelers. 😊

We love our Andersons. Have had no issues with them at all. Gotten to a point I know how much the trailer needs to be raised and can pretty much back/or pull on to them to get the level right on first try. Ease of use wins.

Ditto on the Andersons.

SteveSueMac · 04-10-2016, 03:32 PM

Triple ditto on the Andersens!

Andersons 4x. The big level under the AS front window is visible from the driver's seat (of my SUV), so no guesswork. I just wait a little while for that heavy metal ball in the liquid to settle...

Has anyone had to stack a lynx block under the Andersons to get level? We did once, but I think discrete use of an entrenching tool on the opposite side might be called for if this situation presents itself again....one thoughtful friend suggested that a claw hammer would do that job nicely?

I am a big fan of the Andersen's. Easy to use and very precise.

Wingeezer · 04-11-2016, 07:12 AM

I carry two sets of the Lynx levellers with me to cover all needs might have.

I have enough to raise both wheels.

Never seen the Andersens before and they look interesting - I like the fact that you can just pull ahead until achieving the right level and then chock them in place.

But will they raise one wheel high enough to get the adjacent one well clear of the ground to
change a tire as I can do with the Lynx levellers?

Also, the Lynx levellers can also be used under the stabilizers and/or tongue jack, which I suppose is an advantage - I do use them for that.

I like the Andersen levelers, but I seldom ever use levelers of any style.
I use my Lynx levelers maybe once or twice per year.
Maybe once per year I am on a campsite bad enough out of level to need to raise one side of the trailer on the Lynx levelers.
At least once per year I camp in sand.
Then I use 5 of the Lynx levelers- one under each of the stabilizers and one under the tongue jack to help keep them from sinking in the sand.
I like the Andersen levelers, just don't have any real use for them.
It is a very good idea- a very well executed idea, though.

We love the Andersen levelers and would not use Lynx again for leveling the trailer, but we still carry and use them. As others have said, they serve multiple other purposes (like the stabilizers and tongue jack) and we have also used them to level picnic tables.

Why not get both?

Exactly what we did. I use our set of the Lynx blocks for all sorts of things - under the tongue and stabilizer jacks, etc., and the Andersen levelers to level side to side in one easy step. We even used them this past weekend on a cement site that was just about 1 inch off level side to side. We are both sensitive to our beds not being level, so we like to get it just right.

They are wide enough to support the tires with no problem.

Andersons for leveling.

We bought Anderson's tough pads for the tongue and stabilizers. Same as the lnyx. We just got pieces of wood from the previous owner, so I was in the market for all new anyhow.

**Rocinante** · 04-11-2016, 10:12 AM

Yep, we inherited wood blocks from Dad, so Lynx were a huge step up - lighter, neater, etc. we have 3 bags of them plus 6 caps.

As others have noted, they are all-purpose devices. There have been plenty of times when we had 3 layers of levelers on one side or the other of Rocinante to even things out. Maybe we're just too adventurous. 😉
