Recommended load leveler?

I will be doing an engine swap in a week on my SDs, and need to pick up a load leveler to help with the 45* angle. Obvious solution seems to be to put the rear wheels up on ramps to help with that but I still want to have a leveler. Can anyone give any recommendations as to which a leveler I should get? Hoping to spend less than $100.

the harbor freight leveler is a piece of 5hit... but I have been very successful with it and used it numerous times without fail


grease the threads well before use along with the bearing washers on the outside.


turn the handle for the length of the rod to make sure there are no snags in the threads before you buy it.

what I got

I bought one from Summit racing earlier this year 55 bucks, now it seems to be discontinued- but here's something close. It too has thrust bearings in the screw assembly, most do not.
