1977FC31 For Sale Grand Lake, Oklahoma

[Tom Warner]

I believe this is important!
Do not drive the rear duals unto a "leveler" as you describe it made
of 2 X 8 wood. Considering the width of the duals and the distance
between tires you are going to put possible cord breaking pressure on
the tires. As someone else mentioned you need at least "levelers"
made of 2 X 12 stock and even then that may not be wide enough
considering the width of two 11R22.5 tires and the width between them.

If you go to the Michelin
site http://www.michelinrvtires.com/michelinr...hom_us.jsp and
then "RV tire guide" and then read "Using blocks to level motorhomes
and Rvs equipped with radial tires" you will see more information
and the reasoning behind it. New tires are expensive and I am sure no
one wants to chance a blow out due to this method of raising the
coach to work on it. 20 ton jack stands are a better way to do it.
