For years I been placing blocks under my stabilizer pads (scissor style) high enough to not fully extend them thinking they would help keep less movement. Don't get me wrong there are many times I needed more blocks for the uneven site heights.
What's your rule of thumb on how much you prefer to extend them? Does it even make a difference either way?
I do have the X-chocks between the wheels. These are the longer version for the spread. Some claim they help with movement, I agree there but I'm talking something different.
I carry four 4-high stacks of plastic blocks, each screwed together for easier handling.
On "normal" sites I use one 4-high stack under each stab, on a tongue high site I'd use a double height stack under each of the 2 high stabs and a single Lynx pad under each of the other two stabs so the stabs don't dig into the ground. I never use nothing under the stabs and feel it's worth carrying these plastic stacks just for this purpose.
FWIW, this is my preferred method of leveling / chocking the trailer ... simple, easy to store, and the trailer is as stable as it's going to ever get. :B More pics are in my gallery.
