6-point levelers for changing a flat

I think I've had to change a flat four times in the six years we've owned our current fifth wheel with the Lippert 6-point leveling system. It bugged me every time I tried to use the leveling jacks and the system would stop just short of getting the affected wheel off the ground. I've always been lucky enough to find a pothole nearby instead and pull up to the hole so I could get the wheel off. It's not a slam dunk though. Even with our decaying infrastructure, you can't count on finding a pothole exactly when and where you need one.

I tried something different yesterday and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner.

We mostly boondock in the desert where it's very uneven, so I've always carried a ton of those yellow Lego blocks for various reasons. Like last new year where the ground turned out to be so soft from recent rains that I had to build 2x2 pads out of the blocks to simulate snowshoes for the pads.

When I had to change a flat yesterday before we left camp, I hitched up the fiver so I could raise all the jacks, and then I put three Legos under each of the jacks so that I could jack the entire trailer three inches higher than normal. It didn't take much of a tilt at all to get all three wheels on one side off the ground. This was the fastest tire change I've ever had.

I'm so ashamed that I didn't think of this six years ago.
