| Is it possible to change a flat on my R pod using the leveler jacks? |

No. Use a floor jack or bottle jack, under the axle mounting plate. We carry a $20 bottle jack from AutoZone. ------------- |

Short answer is an emphatic no. Please refer to the instructions on the stabilizer jacks which indicate that they are not to be used for leveling or lifting. ------------- Jerry & Cathy 2015 RP-179 HRE 2013 Tacoma SR5 4x4 |
