I used to have one -- would drive that wheel up onto one flat lift/block (one of those yellow plastic ones you use under the stabilizers) and that would make it a piece of cake to slide the BAL in and out for use.

Loved having the BAL, made leveling so easy!

Stopped using the BAL when the screw stripped out in the middle of a rainstorm and I was trying desperately to lower the thing to drive home. Finally got it down working hard with the manual wrench. I blame my own self (had been using an impact driver to raise/lower it and probably damaged the screw) but decided that this was a message for me not to use it anymore.
