Leveling Blocks for a 2000 Journey 36G

Is there anyway to figure out how much you will have to put underneath your tire to get it level. I am talking about your level is a bubble off and you need to raise the right rear up.

Get a carpenter's level. For this example, let us assume it is a 48" long level. Measure how far off the floor the aft end of the level is to read centered bubble, and call that value "H".
The wheelbase of a 2000 Journey 36G = 228"
Calculate the amount of lift you will need:
228" ÷ 48" × H = Lift Needed to Level
Example for a ¾" value of "H":
228" ÷ 48" × ¾" = 3½"

will this throw my front to rear level off? It's pretty much level front to rear now.

If your Journey is level fore-to-aft, but is listing side-to-side by a small amount, you can correct that list by blocking just under that one side of the dualies. For larger amounts of list, you will need to block the steer wheel on that side too.
You may just have to experiment a little to see how it goes.
The Track of your Journey is 96", so you can do the Carpenter's Level calculation for side-to-side as well. In this example, let us assume the Level is only 24" long:
96" ÷ 24" × H = Lift Needed to Level side-to-side

A 1/4 of a bubble on any level is 1/4" per foot slope....1/8" bubble is 1/8" slope ect.
Some levels have 2 lines on each side of the bubble, same thing, more accurate..



That said the easiest way is to download a phone app "Clinometer" to your cell phone. It has selections to read in degrees, in/ft., and percent of grade. There are several other free features that I do not now remember.

I use a LevelMate Pro. You put the device on a inside wall of RV then use the phone app to tell you how much to raise in inches, and where. No math, no guesswork.
Also very handy when backing in as I can usually find a level spot just by moving around on the lot.
