Chassis support

(1/3) > >>

arush:
Once again I come to this forum for wisdom.
What are you guys using to support your digger chassis while hauling to the strip.
I have seen those inflatable rubber supports but they are rather pricey.
Not trying to be cheap, just looking for some alternative methods. Pictures would be great.
I appreciate all responses.

I have the round inflatable support and like it very much.

Take a look at this link

I have seen folks use boat bumpers , the expensive bags etc but we have always just used a block of wood with one of my wifes yoga mats stapled to it--I keep a cheapo hand crank import car jack in the trailer--ease the chassis up a little insert block let it down--we put it right in front of engine on a 200 in car--stays put and so far things look great---always fun to try and back car out when you forget the block LOL  I think as long as you have something you will be OK
I talked to Doug Herbert one time--they went cross country with no support ( crew forgot) then did not pull body panels before first run--he almost killed himself  first attempt at a run as all of the forward uprights were broken from cross country trip--my wood block is about 3/8ths-1/4 in in higher than just sliding under chassis
