Auto leveling jack - opinions?

[Vanaddict]

I was curious what everybody's opinion is on auto leveling jacks.

Was thinking about ordering one of the new airstream interstate x vans. And most everything is standard, but there's an option for auto leveling jacks.

There's so much stuff underneath these vans that I'm not sure if they actually decrease the ground clearance.

Here's a photo of what they look like

Picture no worky, at least for me.

I had hydraulic leveling jacks under my Benz, one of the first things I removed. In my case they reduced ground clearance and could be replaced with a few blocks of wood.

And how do you lift the vehicle on to the wooden blocks? Do you have a manual jack like a hi-lift? Or do you carry ramps?

I drive onto the block to level the truck.

Lots of drive on block or leveling options.

My current primary leveler:
Andersen Levelers

That said, auto leveling would be nice depending on clearance and weight of rig. May be more an on-road RV/camper thing.

I wouldn't leave home without our Bigfoot System. Twice this year we've had the tires 6"-8" off the ground.

Our neighbor has the Lippert system. The cylinder rods are tiny. He levels the RV side to side with wood then he levels front to back with the Lippert system.
