  1. With today's smart phones, it is real easy to have a level measuring device that tells you how many degrees of tilt your trailer is experiencing. You then get out your leveling blocksTrailer Leveling Table.xlsx and use a hit or miss technique to get your trailer just right. Wouldn't it be nice to know the exact height you are going to need? It turns out you can calculate it based on the trailer's wheel base and the degrees of tilt. Using the tangent function, the attached Excel spreadsheet shows a table of required trailer elevations based on a user-specified wheel base, and the degrees of tilt. I printed it out and put a copy in my blocks case. Hope people find this helpful. My Oliver Elite 1 has a wheelbase of 67". The resulting table looks like this. Wheel Base (in) 67 Deg of Tilt Elevate (in) 0.2 0.23 0.4 0.47 0.6 0.70 0.8 0.94 1 1.17 1.2 1.40 1.4 1.64 1.6 1.87 1.8 2.11 2 2.34 2.2 2.57 2.4 2.81 2.6 3.04 2.8 3.28 3 3.51 3.2 3.75 3.4 3.98 3.6 4.22 3.8 4.45 4 4.69 4.2 4.92 4.4 5.16 4.6 5.39 4.8 5.63 5 5.86
