I use wood chocks and " load "the chocks each time that I unhitch ! Place the chocks , roll forward until the chocks stop the load , put truck in neutral for a second to unload the ball , jack it up . Worked for me for 40 years .
Some of the cheap yellow plastic chocks have a lip on the face that prevents them from contacting much tire . I take landscape timbers from Lowes and with my saw I cut 45 degree faces on a piece about 6 inches long , then eye hooks and tie two together with cord long enough to reach both tires on a side . Easy to carry and store . I hate plastic anything .
