Yes, others have said it, the Pod does NOT have leveling jacks!!! They are stabilization jacks ONLY!! If you try to level the Pod, they will bend.
You have to level side to side by driving the Pod low side tire up onto a block of wood, or plastic Lego levelers, or something similar. Or one of the BAL leveling chock/jacks, might also work. If you actually unweight the Pod using a stabilizer, that jack will bend if the Pod moves at all front to back. Not good. I wouldn't even try using them to change a tire. AND BTW, an 18 volt drill with a 3/4" CAMCO socket works GREAT. No need to exercise. Just drill away to lower or raise.

BTW, the jacks on the pod are not leveling jacks. They are for stabilization
only. use the tongue jack along with something under a tire for leveling

I have a rear door instead of a tailgate, but taking off the crank makes very little difference in any kind of clearance. If an inch or so would make the difference for you, it might work.

By replacing the tongue jack handle, can you open the tailgate now?

I took the crank off of my tongue jack and replaced it with a 3/4" nut. My drill runs it up and down easily. Electric tongue jack...

We just use the "manual" wrench that came with our R-pod.

CAMCO makes a socket for stabilizers that has a bit end for electric drills, cheap, it is 3/4"
