I think it's safe to say that nobody who has leveling jacks say I think I'll take them off and buy lego blocks or such. Leveling systems are a convenience factor and an expensive one. As 16Ace said,...

Ultralevel in the omni/magnitudes is neither "ultra" or a "leveling" system. It's a jerk it around, shake rattle and roll system designed to either damage some parts like front cap, or throw you on...
