What do you put under your landing gear?
Was wondering what if anything you put under you landing gear / stabilizers? I used to use a set of blocks that I made out of 4 pieces of 2 x 10 stacked and screwed and glued together. Just recently ...

Right now we're using a couple of 8"X8" blocks cut about 12" long under the front landing gear. I cut a few pieces of 2"X6"s to use on the rear stabilizers.
In the next two or three weeks we take delivery of a new trailer with 6 point levelers. Can't wait for that, in the mean time I made four octagon shaped pads from three quarter inch PT plywood with two by two in the middle making them approximately three inches thick. Not really sure if we'll actually need them but I had all of the materials just laying around so the expense was near nothing. Being retired now I have time on my hands to "monkey" around in the shop. I did have to buy some three eighths inch nylon rope for loops though.
