Lynx levelers arrangement tongue support

What is the arrangement you use for Lynx Levelers for travel trailer tongue support?
Stack up in column? Pyramid stack? Other?

Thanks for your help
  • I purchased the Lynx pads that are flat and go on top of the blocks. They work well. I also just use some wood blocks that I have in the trailer sometimes.Usually whatever is closest and I grab first.
  • We use about 4 lynx with the Fastaway Flip foot added to the bottom of the electric jack. This way we aren't extending the jack to far.

    When not on pavement, I stack them upside down so the jack plate has a flat surface to sit on. My jack plate is about 3.5" round and does not sit very well on the lynx levelers in the upright position.


    This might help.
  • Thanks for all the replies. That's basically what I've been doing. Someone told me they always used pyramid type arrangement for tongue and that was THE way to do it.

    Just wanted to affirm what I was doing.

    Thanks
  • I just stack them up and put a 2x6 on top of the stack to distribute the weight of the jack foot over the 4 raised areas on the Lynx block. Tongue weight is 1200 lbs and have not had any issues.



    In this pic the site was so unlevel I ran out of all the lumber I brought and 2 sets of Lynx blocks....made the CG manager bring me those cinder blocks..
