If I remember correctly, my scale is only about 10" tall and my a frame is about 25" off the ground. When my trailer is level it has about 18" of wood blocks under the trailer jack. If I lowered it all the way my A frame would still be much higher off the ground than I feel safe with. The scale footprint is just too small and unsecure IMO to have a bunch of 2 by's stacked under it rather than one. I don't want 1500 or more pounds sitting on a scale that has 10" or more of blocks under it. The jack idea is much easier and safer.
