Planks

Jim

All you need is a plank long enough to fit both wheels on.  Place it in front of the front wheel and drive forward until both wheels are on.  You can have different thicknesses of plank, but I have two one inch planks and use both stacked up if necessary.

It's very rare to need more than this, but I also have blocks to go under the planks if necessary.

i am sorry but can some  one explain how to use these planks im just not getting it

so its just on each side i thought they ment one plank from one side to the other side so when you moved forward both front wheels went on the one plank thanks for putting us right if i now understand

Don't have a two wheel job but out of curiosity isn't it a lot of planks to carry when weight is vital, compared to a couple of levellers you wind up? Just interested to know in case I ever think about a twin axel

My planks aren't heavy, but in any event you do need to carry blocks for all sorts of reasons, so it's quite a necessary sort of weight.  I don't think two strong levelling devices would weigh much less. And you would still need blocks, for example if you had a flat tyre and couldn't get the jack under.

Nose weight or indeed total weight has never been an issue fo me.  That's why I have a bigger car than I need, just so I have a safety margin on things like this. 

I don't think the two planks together would be 10kg.  Also, unlike levelling devices, planks never fail....
