Hey Matt. Sorry but the Emergency Traction Mats item # PT96ZR aren't going to work as levelers when folded. They're designed to be used for recovering vehicles from the mud, sand, and snow. The hinges are meant to collapse the mats down for storage. They're not setup for weight to be placed on them.
To level your vehicle you'll want to use the Thule RV Wheel Levelers item # TH307617.
What kind of vehicle are you needing to level?
