    Stuff. Also things.
    I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume he's not talking about suspension lift.

    I could be wrong.
    I've been pretty happy with these.

    Generally speaking, many RV's and/or trailers have an adjustable leveling prop on each corner. The blocks mentioned above are usually for keeping a solid platform to prop onto (like a high jack base) and/or to compensate for a little tilt. It's not entirely safe for an RV to be resting on a large block. If you need to level your truck more than 6", you should really be looking for a flatter area. If all else fails, find a couple LARGE rocks at your site.

    I personally carry a few small sections of 2x4's if i need a little lift. I try to keep it under 3 boards high as anymore than that and you can risk them slipping on themselves.

    When getting my tent tight to my rack the rails bend a good 1/8" or so, is this common. I'm not sure how much I trust this lol

    Hey now looking to pinch a few pennies. What are the feels on the number of bed bars to go with? Seeing a lot of racks with 3 but couldn't pass up on a sweet deal for 2 relentless bed bars. Is anyone feeling a difference using just 2 vs 3?

    I've seen plenty of people run two bars. But for me, I want to better distribute the load so three bars made sense.

    That's my thought process also but vendor can't guaruntee 3rd single will match height of the other 2. Whatever I'm assuming if I go ruggudized tepui it should be a non issue due to the diamond plate base

    Yeah, i've been using 2x6 blocks but i've split them so many times I was looking for a better option. Some of the best spots with a view tend to be on a grade so I invariably end up building improvised wood/rock ramps. This was one of the sketchier setups.

    I'm honestly so surprised on how many people need these leveling blocks. 25+ nights in the tent and I've yet to need some. This is camping in the rockies so not exactly flat either.

    I've run my ruggedized Autanna with two bars and wouldn't recommend it still flexed too much for my taste. Now that I run 3plus bars it's solid...

    I like to be level or actually head higher than feet and just use rocks and/or small dig out.

    My tent almost came off during a desert run. Rail bolts on one side came out. Other two were snug tight when i removed them. Luckily I deployed for a picture and found it lifting. I probably would have lost the tent it I didnt.

    Here is my setup now with 3/8" grade 8 with nyloc nuts:

    It amazes me how cheap these things are put together for almost $3k. They need to make an off-road version with better hardware.

    Speaking of unlevel camping. We camped up near South Pass on our way to the Lander, Wyoming area to get into the zone of "totality" for the Eclipse. Great spot despite a bit of a tilt.
