forget the blocks behind the wheels and go for the X-blocks between the wheels. That method also reduces the trailer movement when one walks around inside. Note I stated `reduces' not eliminates.
TERRIBLE advice. :( Norco's X-Chocks, despite the name, are not designed nor intended to actually chock a trailer to prevent it from inadvertently shifting and Norco even includes a warning note to this effect in every box of X-Chocks sold, the reason being that tires shrink noticeably as they cool and when that happens X-Chocks lose their grip on the tires. :E
You absolutely DO want to use chocks of some sort at the same ground level as the tires to absolutely secure the trailer, even if those tires are sitting atop Lynx levelers. A favourite of mine are adjustable BAL Standard Tire Locking Chocks, one between each set of adjacent tires.
I used this method myself for years with our previous 24' K-Z Spree and once in place there's no way that trailer would ever go anywhere, no matter the site slope or nature of the ground surface. The X-Chocks were used strictly to reduce suspension wiggle when walking around inside the camper. Unfortunately the axle spread on my current Coachmen is so narrow it's difficult to fit the BAL adjustable chocks between the tires so I instead use rubber chocks with hardwood spacers between the adjacent set of chocks to absolutely prevent either from shifting out of position.
I've been using this system as well for a long time now and it too absolutely does prevent the trailer from shifting, even on my significantly sloped driveway. :B
