Some people put blocks under the jacks for valid reasons.. For example I have pads that if I am on soft ground I use they are over a foot square and that is over twice the area of the bottom of my jack pads.. So they do not sink as much into the dirt.
And sometimes you need the extra jacking height.
And if there is a snowballs' chance of snowballs (how is that for a twist on an old phrase) that is frozen ground.
I have had my jacks freeze to the ground.. Major pain in the operating system
I have never had 'em freeze to one of those pads, or to a wood block (WHich I sometimes use) and of course in this case 2 pads are better than one.
When the ground freezes. I up jacks. Drive off... Gently tap the block with my 8 pound sledge. and ... It breaks free right smartly.
Toss the block, (And sledge) into the storage bay and off we go.
