The Andersen levelers are a good product that just simply works.
The only problem I have is that they can (and will) sink into softer dirt when loaded. As a result, I carry 2x8's and use them under the leveler's when needed.
The Andersen levelers sink into soft surfaces because at just 6" wide they present a relatively small foot print, a situation that can be avoided by sitting each on some sort of base plate with a larger footprint that spreads the weight bearing down on them. Being made of hard plastic though the leveler can slip on any slick surface so it surprises me that you'd be able to successfully keep them in place sitting atop 2" x 8" wood. JMO, but I'd instead carry a set of rubber stair treads made from recycled tires and stack them as necessary to gain desired additional lift and avoid any potential for the levelers to slip as the trailer's low side tires are pulled up on to them. Using a base like this will also avoid the levelers sitting on an uneven ground surface, likely the cause of reported breakage.
