I recently had to put a lift on my FW in order for it to tow level. Now my jacks (landing gear and stabilizing jacks) have too far to travel to the ground. How tall of a jack pad can I put under my landing gear. I know I could put a redwood stump under it that was 3 ft tall, but lets keep this within reason. I want the smallest, lightest pad and get about 8 inches out of it. Will the Camco lego blocks support my FW of 10k lbs?
I either use spare lego blocks under my rear stabs or 2x4 cribbing. I put 1 lego block under each landing jack just for a larger footprint. I can't imagine any landing gear NOT reaching the ground just from a trailer lift. I'd be willing to bet that my landing gear easily have close to 5 FEET of total travel between the powered portion and the drop-extensions. You =do= have extensions, don't you?
