The cheapest that I could find it for was at the Sportmans Guide for $55

I'm not sure if they came out with a new model or not? Those details are direct from the manufacture's web site.
I own a bal-leveler that I bought used from DaveS when he moved up to a hybrid but continue to forget I own it and have th camper level and unhooked before opening the door and seeing it. 😮

I don't think they fit over 13" tires, unless a new model is out there. We have to bang ours in with a rubber mallet to fit 13"
I have only had mine for 2 years and my trailer tires were 13" and never had a problem.

I have 14s on my Starcraft and it's a tight fit. Some times it gives quite a fight getting it out from under the tire.
Here is neat trick that will help. This was learned from my Scuba Diving days.
Go to a dive shop or sports store that sells wetsuits. Get a bottle of silicone spray. A very light spray on the Bal leveler where the wheels touch will give that tiniest about of lubrication between the tire and the place to allow it to slip out easier when you pull it.
Works great. Even when the leveler has sunken in a bit.

Some times the simplest solutions are the ones we overlook. I work in auto repair, I use spray silicon all the time, Never thought of using it for this. I'll try your suggestion in the spring when we start camping again. Well something else to keep in the pass trough storage.

Another good trick is to stretch the BAL.
I used a scissor jack and gently "stretched" the BAL (about 1/2 inch) open a little where the bolts are. It doesn't affect the operation at all and I can now fit it around my 13" tires with no problem.
This was what I was going to try next camping trip.

There you have it from another 13" tire owner. No way will it fit within factory specs anything larger than 13" tire packages.
