Leveling with half of a Lynx block??
We use those Lynx blocks (they look like giant Legos) to level our trailer. Works well, does not slip, easy to store and to clean. But every so often, a stack two blocks high is not enough, while ...

rockhill mentioned the issue of slipping. Whether I put a piece of plywood under the stack or over it, the plywood does not stay perfectly in place. The Lynx blocks, of course, move as a unit, since they are interconnected.
Ergo the reason I created my DIY Lynx/Wood system in which a base layer of Lynx is affixed to the wood base - no slippage. For a single axle trailer like yours a simple base layer with 3 or 4 Lynx would work just fine, for dual axle trailers I prefer a base that's hinged so it folds for compact storage. Here's a single axle version I used a few years ago with a popup we owned at the time.
For elevating the trailer's low side just one or two Lynx heights no half Lynx are needed, for 3 levels a half Lynx at each end of the stack on the second row allows you to make use of the full length of the stack at the third level for chocks once the trailer is centred over the stack. Lynx caps really don't make much difference in elevating the trailer's low side, they merely prevent the tires from sinking into the various Lynx depressions. Over time they tend to also bend from the weight of the trailer bearing down on them and over time distort pretty badly - IMO not much advantage to using them.
