Actually I rarely level my truck. I try and get relatively level front to back and then don't worry too much about side to side. I just sleep whichever way gets my head uphill.

I carry the Links and a piece of 2x8x8 redwood, though the primary reason for the latter is to place under the jack if I need to change a tire on soft ground.:(

VP,

I originally intended to get some ramps similar to the ones you gave a link to (like yours better, the ones I was looking at were flat instead of curved to fit the tire) but in our constant battle against "stuff" we held off and have been happy using the chnlisle levelers. They've never failed and always fit in with the surrounding environment :P

Happy Trails!

Made a 3 1/2 day trip back from Portland to LA through SE Oregon, NW Nevada and then down the eastern side of the Sierras. Found a gem of a campground 12mi NW of Bishop. Horton Creek BLM, $5 night, BYOW (no water). Oh, and note the environmentally conscious leveling devices.
