BAL leveler for Wolf Pup?

Hello,
I have a BAL leveler from when I owned a pop-up. I now own a Wolf Pup (approx. 3000lbs dry) and was wondering if the BAL leveler would work with the new trailer and if anyone has experience with this combination? From what I understand, the BAL leveler has a max weight of 1750lbs so we are probably close to the max weight for the leveler.

Please let me know your thoughts and/or experience with this. Thanks!

Actually, if you are only lifting one side, you'd only be lifting half of the weight. It still would be close.

One thing I forgot to point out, it really isn't made for dual axles. Therefore, you can't go much bigger, before you move to another form of leveling.

the BAL will handle your Wolf Pup just fine, ... and yes, they're not intended to be used with dual axle trailers, but it can be done, ... Started using a BAL on our first trailer, a 17' Casita, ... liked it so much that when we moved up to a Micro Lite 21DS, (I think about 4,300# dry, but we/she carried just about everything, close to another 1,000#'s), I bought two BAL's and used them in tandem, ... would place a 2' level across from one BAL frame to the other and w/battery drill lift one a little and then move to the other, back and forth, ... goal being, for them to be the same, when the trailer reached level, ... that worked and I loved it, but when we moved up to our present, Micro Lite 25KS, I went to the Andersen Leveler, but still like the idea and ease of use of the BAL, ....

one issue is tire size, if your Wolf Pup has 15" tires(like the Casita), you may find you need to "open up" the BAL just a hair, ... a very common practice in the Casita world, ... did mine with chains and a come-along between two trees, it doesn't take much, ... didn't need to do that with the 14" tires on the Micro Lite 21DS, ... happy trailering
