using BAL levelers

We have a Keystone Bullet Premier (22RBPR) that has a dry weight on 4650 lbs. I have one BAL 28050 leveler (from prior popup trailer days) and was wondering if anyone is using two BALs on a dual axel TT? I have tried to find out the weight limit on the BAL 28050 but specs are not listed on line that I could see. I have plenty of space between the two tires (about 20") so that is not an issue.

Also....anyone using the Camco 44753 tri leveler?? Looks interesting and had pretty good product reviews. I'm wondering about ease of use and how to chock tires when they're up on a higher level???

These scissor jacks may be strong enough for leveling, but the TT frame usually is not.

I missed the fact that the BAL 28050 was an actual leveling device, I assumed it was a scissor jack since the part number seemed so familiar to me.

Some of the BAL scissor jacks are called stabilizer/leveling jacks. I have four I use for both.I think it's camping world's description of fine tuning the leveling of your trailer.

Those that day there stabilizers only, would be wrong.

I love using my Bal leveler with the Aliner, best thing since sliced bread.

Some have used them with tandem axles but it might become more effort than it is worth.

You might want to look into the Anderson levelers.

I just use the Lynx leveling blocks for my Bullet. I've never had to use more than 2 blocks deep to get the TT leveled. They are simple to place next to the tires and either back up onto or pull forward onto. At home I've placed permanent wood planks under the wheels to level the TT next to the house.

Interesting in that the BAL 28050 leveler is actually a leveler and not a stabilizer as suggested.

They go under the tire and then lift the axle as such.


They are even listed by BAL as a leveler.

I don't think they have the capacity to lift a dual axle trailer wheel to the levels you might be needing.

These levelers are originally made for pop-ups and other very light trailers.

Secondly... I use 6 of the scissor jack stabilizers on my trailer. Two of them are BAL and the other 4 are Husky.

I use two at the front corners, a pair just in front of the front axle, and a pair just behind the rear axle. That allows me to lift to stabilize and fine-tune level. Do not lift the trailer very far behind the rear axle, you will not like the results.


How and where did you mount the Huskys?? To the frame, axels,???


I mounted them to the frame within 6 inches of the axle mount reinforcement plates with nuts and bolts, the supplied self-tapping screws are not great for this application.
