Leveling/Stabilizer Jack Pads

Just purchased a 2017 PT Spartan 3210. It has 4 electronic leveling and 2 stabilizer jacks. We've moved up from a 32' bumper pull weighing less than 7k and the hauler weighs 12,250 without 2 Harley's. Have used the orange Lynx leveling blocks previously, but don't think they will be sturdy enough for the hauler. What is everyone using under their jacks. I would like to use something that doesn't weigh a lot. Need suggestions.

I use a combination of the Lynx leveling pads and wood blocks for my Cedar Creek. The front legs usually are placed on two 4"X4"X12" long cedar post fasten to a 3/4-inch plywood base, one per leg. I than use 3 to 5 Lynx leveling pads for each of the four rear legs as needed. This has worked will for my needs.

We threw out all the assorted wood blocks when we got the levelup system. No longer look like a traveling lumber yard

We only use the lynx blocks now. Our rig is around 12500 loaded and we have stacked the lynx 5 tall when necessary. Have had no problems with them handling the weight, even on front jacks. Enjoy your new rig!

We have the LCI level up/3.0 system. So ... you think the Lynx blocks will do the job? Loaded with 2 bikes & our "stuff" we would be close to 14,500 lb.

You might also be able to cut up a 4' X 6 'X 3/4" rubber stall mat from TSC.

I don't use anything other than the circular factory footing when weekend camping.

Here's a review that says the lynx levelers hold up to 40,000lb.

I was looking at the lynx site and they also make a flat cap for the top level. I'm already ordering. Their website just said to not stack them over 5".

I use the lynx on my 40' 13k lb fiver with ground control 3.0 4 pt auto levelers. No problem. The first time I drove the wheels up in three blocks high on a gravel spot I cracked a couple blocks. I emailed the company and had a new set mailed to me within a couple days! Outstanding service and I love the things. Sometimes a thin piece of plywood or board helps if you aren't on solid ground or the blocks get pressed into the ground a bit, but that's no problem either.

Happy Campin!
