Adding auto levelers is certainly possible.
The fun will be in choosing the system that you like the best.
Bigfoot and Equalizer are two popular brands.
(I've got the Equalizers on my rig, and they work great)
Happy shopping!

What is your skill level? Adding autolevelers can be done as a DIY but it takes a bit.

What kind are you interested in adding? A complete hydraulic system or just "powered scissor jacks"?

The Bigfoot company is in Michigan and will install at the factory if you're interested (some have used them here both self-installed and factory installed).

I noticed big foot platinum system for e450 is $2195. Is that normal price. I thought it was $2995. Is this an inferior product or just on sell. Anyone got this on their e450

auto level Newbie

Thanks for info from y'all...
Starting to see Big foot and Equalizers as potential.
Any other info and differences is appreciated.
So new...we're taking our first overnight with Lego type levelers to use.
(did this when I was a teen so many years ago...never really had to do this with the popup we owned when kids were younger travelling for 3 weeks - a couple of times - out west)

I use "lego" type blocks all the time along with my Levelmate Pro. Haven't used anything else: The Levelmate will tell you how many inches a wheel needs to be raised, just put out that many blocks and done (it is useful even if you get power levelers as well since the display is live you can scoot the RV around the campsite looking for the most level spot before dropping the jacks).
