I use the Fiamma jumbo leveling ramps after smashing some cheaper ones when I first got my bus.I always level the front end.
I am just about to buy another pair of the same type,so I can double up on them,one on top of the other,as the one pair never seem to jack me up enough for perfection.

Hi to all, I asked the same question when we bought our last van (kontiki 669). The guy at the Fiat garage ( backed up at local VOSA Station) about the levelling the rear wheels.
Both gave the same reply,as long as it is only a couple of inches use the front or rear tag axle (if possible, but not important, if doing only one side,remember if doing the rear only to use the same axle)
They both confirmed that there is enough articulation with-in the suspension to allow the above.
Also like Russell I went to the local Demolition guy who recycles what the can.I bought a lovely piece 0f Oregon Pine 10"x8" just over two feet in length,they put it through a planer and then cut it in half,cut and trimmed the leading edge. Great buy too ! very expensive ! £5 to put into the biscuit tin.
Once home I varnished them a couple of times and on the top sprinkled some sand onto the top to give a bit more grip.Job done
You could of course do the job properly and fork out £4.5K for hydraulic self levelling system.
We just park the van, do the spirit level test and insert Fiamma ramps where neccessary. I always reverse up the ramp, why ??? just do.
Last week end the guy opposite us parked his van then put a lightweight axle stand in each corner. Meant to ask why this was required but he left early. Our previous vans have had steadies and we never used them.
hi we use a cut up scaffold board and to small fiamma ramps for the rear tag axle you can get them between the wheels ok. and by putting the boards under get even more lift
