- crcrExplorerBelow is a pic of my storage solution. The very sturdy HD ABS "truck box", I purchased at Walmart. Inside it are chocks, homemade Bal Chocks, pcs of wood to put under stabilizers, and other setup items. It's very handy. Behind the box on top of the bumper are two 5' 2x8's and one 4' pc of 3/4" plywood, each with a 45 degree angle on one end for ease in backing the TT onto them. These are my ramps to back the TT on to level it side to side.
This pic is on my previous TT. We have a different TT now and I welded up the same setup. However, I found they have a larger truck box of the same style at Walmart, have purchased one, and will change out to the larger box.

- wannavolunteerFExploreranother vote for Anderson levelers, they are a bit heavier than lynx blocks, but much easier than stacking blocks of any kind. I do keep lynx blocks for under stabilizers. Lynx blocks stay in front storage in the bags that they come in. For anderson levelers, I have found the easiest thing to do is put them in floorboard of backseat, behind driver. Take them out from wheels as I pull out, and put them under wheels when I get where I am going.
- old_guyExplorerto me weight is every thing. I use the Lynx levelers. they are light weight and so far I have no had them break after many years of use.

Anderson levelers They are the greatest! I've dumped all my plastic leveling blocks and just carry these.
I just put them under the wheels and watch the level on the front of my trailer. Literally takes seconds to do.
Interesting concept. - wmosesExplorer

Solution: forget hauling lumber.
Lynx Levelers.
Exactly. Way lighter more compact and probably stronger too ... at least string enough for the task. - ScottGNomadAnderson levelers They are the greatest! I've dumped all my plastic leveling blocks and just carry these.

X2 on the Lynx Levelers, light weight and very practical. :)
X10 on the Lynx. I quit hauling lumber years ago. Both work fine, to each their own. - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIII carry 2 -----6X6X12 blocks with rope handle for rear stabilizers
I carry 2 -----2X10 boards for leveling side to side
One board is the width of truck bed......other one is 4" shorter and angle cut on ends.
I carry them across bed of truck towards rear.
That is all I've needed in 7 yrs. of FT travel.
If 2 boards under wheels is not enough,,,,,,,,,then I move.
Position rig.....lay board down......back onto it......done.
No pulling leggo blocks out, no stacking, no building of little ramps, no plastic block slipping.
And I can still set wheel chocks on the wood boards. - wayfunExplorer
