  My back is starting to give out, so from being sceptical about seatboxes with spirit levels I now think I need to fit a bubble level on my tackle box.
  Does anybody know where I can get one?
  Regards Peter.

  just buy a small spirit level,have had back problems and although a level box helps it didnt cure the problem,back excercises helped and so did changing the position i was sitting at.

  I have noticed that if the box is level my back & side don’t feel that uncomfortable.

  I have a similar problem. I picked up some key ring spirit levels that were being given away at a conference and removed the ring part leaving the rectangular bubble bit. I have one in a side drawer for front to back and the other in the tray under my seat for left to right.I just open the drawer/tray to check the levels, works a treat.

  Just gone from a Milo Tardis without levels to a Fox MSB with 4 spirit levels in, can set it up like I used to do with my Milo by eye and it looks level but when you check its way off

  in my experience it’s a lot more likely that your hurting your back carting your box from house to car/peg and back again.
  sorry but i think it’s time for a can of MAN UP and get yourself off to the gym ~clap

  i use the rive levels on my st, but i am of the opinion there isnt any box can be made perfectly level. the reason ? ok u set up and use levels on frame work to get level readings. but you then plonk yourself down on a cushioned seat ? which moulds to your backside by your weight, so the way you sit on the seat dictates how level u are ???????? or not level at all ???????? same as the way you would sit in a chair at home, sit right its ok, wrong causes back probs.
