What to use to level trailer while parked

Looking at a quick trip to see some family soon. Have a 5th wheel that runs a couple of inches high in the front so if we pull over for the night and don't want to unhook, we need to level the trailer in the rear a few inches. Any suggestions on what to use? Thinking of either getting boards or the plastic blocks.
Thanks,
Curly

    Side to Side Leveling can be accomplished using boards/legos etc under the LOW side Tires

    Front to Rear Leveling is by using the Front Landing Gear Legs to raise/lower front of 5th wheel to level and stablizing using rear legs

    Or using 'Leveling Jacks' if 5vr is so equpiped

    BUT any Front to Rear Leveling requires unhitching from truck


    Just how much NOSE High are you?
    How UNLEVEL is fridge with the Nose High?

    2x6's work well, I have used them with success. Plastic work ok if ground is smooth.
