A large/visible level on the nose of the trailer let me know on which side to put the ramp. Then back onto the ramp until the level shows level. Block it up then level front to back and you are set to go!!
A group of us on another forum spent considerable time and effort examining this exact solution and came to the conclusion a leveling ramp was a bad idea. Why? ... because as you back a dual axle trailer up on to that ramp the axle equalizer increasingly offsets and the force placed on the rear wheel suspension components are significantly higher than force on the front axle suspension components and for the duration of your stay will remain like this. As well, that elevated low side will be subjected unevenly to forces relative to those on the high side where the axle equalizer will be sitting relatively level and suspension components for each axle will each be subjected to approximately the same force. It was an interesting experiment but I eventually tossed my ramp where it belonged - into the garbage. ;)
