Utilizing Level-Up to Change Wheel

This past winter while traveling I discovered a screw in one of my tires. Using the Level-Up I raised that side of the trailer without the truck attached to remove the wheel. I needed the truck to take the wheel to the local GY shop. No problem.

I feel safer using the Level-Up for this purpose than with any jack stands of a size I could carry. That feature was a big factor in my decison to get the after-market install of the Level-Up.

I have Phase III - Phase II with remote. The landing gear cylinders will float when lifting one side to avoid frame twisting.

BTW the screw was about 1/4" long and not a problem. It was a false alarm but I feel good about having gone through the exercise. An adaptor I was using was too light to remove the lug nuts and it broke. Got the proper socket so I am ready for the next time. I have 36" 3/4 drive breaker bar and need every bit of it to break the nuts loose.

Hope this helps.
