Question about leveling
Hey all, I think I have decided on going with the Anderson leveler system and just wanting to make sure that leveling with 1 tire/axle is ok or is it preferred to level with both tires? I would rather not buy 2 levelers but if it tweaks the axles or suspension in a bad way using only 1 then I will get 2.
Thanks
Eric

We went with the Andersen as well.
Got two of them, as I don't see a way to level correctly without both axles.
Haven't used them just yet...fingers crossed they are big enough for those VERY un-level sites!

I have 2 sets of the andersons and love them. My wife gets in the drivers seat after I back in and puts the truck in 4 LO. I place the levelers on the low side and she creeps the trailer up on the levelers. We are done leveling in less than 20 seconds.
Once she gets it level, I place the chocks and have her put the truck in neutral so it settles on the chocks.
Couldn't be easier

Same here....actually we only used them once. Because, the following weekend an annual site opened up at a local resort. So we booked it for a year. But....they were way easy to use.

Thats why I use a 2 X 10. Two sets of leveler's is too much $4.00 for a board

I use 2 of them....one for each axle. So much easier then a bunch of work or the plastic locks. Back in....slide those levelers in front of the tires...pull forward....set the chock.....done!

I bought two of the anderson's and they won't work with my flagstaff the wheels are too close together. and like a dum... I cut both so now I have $85.00 worth of junk and use planks that cost me nothing go figure. almost forgot I would level both not just one.

I Have a 2016 rockwood 8311WS travel trailer and I bought two Anderson levelers and couldn't be happier. I did have to trim off about 2 inches from one leveler so it would fit in between the axles. I suppose one leveler would work but it just seems to look better with two. I use a 2 foot level on the side of the trailer to get it level.

I bought one Anderson Leveler and one Anderson Rapid Jack. I can use the Jack as the second leveler. Don't level very often. I'll have the Jack when I need to change a tire; I use the Jack (on its side) as the trailer tongue jack stand when not needed to level.

I bought two for our Micro Lite, also needed to cut to fit, so I also cut both to match. IMO if both AL's aren't the same, that's the same as putting different heights of pads under your wheels and saying your axles are level. If you're not at the same position on each AL then your axles are not the same height. That's just how I see leveling.
If you cut yours to fit, then why can't you use them?
