Default Re: Leveling on uneven ground - best method??

Regarding "Don't back onto leveling blocks, as it will damage your transmission"  Baloney!! Power or torque is determined by the gear ratio and REVERSE is geared a heck of a lot lower than 1st gear. Most vehicles will go 25 to 30 mph or even faster in 1st gear, try that in reverse, it ain't gonna happen!!
Gotta agree.  This sounds like one of those scary urban legends that make no sense when you think about it.
