- BumpyroadExplorerprobably will twist the frame????????? what part of NO is hard to understand?
bumpy - SpeculariusExplorerIt is not recommended, but it will do it with no strain. I used mine to change a blow out on the side of I10 in Florida this past July. With the 6 point to lift and a cordless impact, I was back on the road in less than 15 minutes.
- stevewiseExplorerWhen I had the ST tires removed and LT tires put on I lifted the whole trailer so the shop could do 4 tires at on time.
- ArcamperExplorerYep, it can toss around a 16k lb trailer like a toy. I used mine when I did a disc brake conversion. Picked it up with the 6 point then put my jack stands under it and let it down.
- Traveler_IIExplorerIn the park we are in right now our neighbor just bought a new Bighorn with the 6 point system. He set it up a week ago and to level one side had the wheels off the ground. Might be something wrong with his because if keep settling back to the ground. Yesterday he leveled it back and added some boards under the tires.

Time to contact the factory and have some warranty service done. It shouldn't leak down. Several times when mine got finished auto leveling tires have been off the ground but it never moved.
I took mine to the tire dealer for new tires and lifted it in the pk lot so they could do all 4 at once. They marveled. IIRC the rears are rated for 8k ea and the fronts 14k, that's 60k of lifting for a 15k trailer. - Michelle_SExplorer IIIOne of the Original Adds for the Level-up System, prior to the Lippert buy out, listed the ability to change a tire as a feature. Then the Legal Eagles got involved and nixed that part from the adds. Liability Issues if you were to crawl under and for some reason it failed and crushed you.
Use common sense and you'll have no problem. - BumpyroadExplorer

yep, when I needed tire work on my class A I offered to save them some trouble and jack it up myself, and they politely refused and brought out their own equipment.
bumpy - VoodooMedicineMExplorerCedar Creek says I can do that.
- mike1polesExplorerAlmost four years ago Lippert changed out our axles, actually two times and another time to try to service the axles (after that fascicle, we changed to MOR/Rdye IS system). Every time, Lippert tech's used the LevelUp to change them out or to work on them!! Lippert manufactures the LevelUp, and we had it installed at their service center, just before we had problems with our axles.
Because of health issues, we have had to be in one place for almost 2 years, (soon to change and we can get back on the road, LOL). I have always setup our 5th wheel with all wheels off the ground, with no problems, (believe it or not, ours is really more stable). Our LevelUp has never bled off, and I have measured time and again on all six jacks many times. Where we have been setup since in April 2014, none of the jacks have bled off at all. :)
To person that posted about the LevelUp bleeding off, you need to call Lippert warranty, ASAP.
Hope this helps and God bless,
Mike
