On my Andersen levelers I shortened the skinny end by 1" with a Dremel jigsaw and rounded large end corner with a belt sander. I did taper the skinny end with a belt sander so that I wouldn't need to shorten the leveler so much. They work really well. You could also use a saber saw to cut the skinny end. I also added some pull cords to make it easier for the DW to remove them. My 14" wheels are 3 1/2" apart. I added a giant bubble level so I can level the trailer while looking at it from the drivers side rear view mirror.

I cut a couple inches off one of my levelers to fit between the tires. Used my circular saw as its just plastic then put a taper on the edge with the bench sander and 80 grit aluminum oxide belt.

what do you suppose the best way to cut these are?

Thanks for the responses. I'd really like to look at them in person and see what I could do, but I can't...

It does appear they are not going to work for me... Would have been a great Christmas present!

Good Morning,

Just got off the phone with Anderson directly and this was the quote based on my tires, 235/85/16 that are 2 1/2 inches apart.

Rep;"You will need to cut 2" off one leveler, and that is the one you use between tires"

Me; "Should I cut both so the go up together?"

Rep; "you can but most people just do one, the smallest part of the lift is usually just suspension, try one first and go from there"

Hope this helps...
