Yep, those are the ones I use because of the flat top. But the Lynx are less brittle and will not crack and break like the yellow ones. I've broken several of the yellow ones when using them on very uneven grounds.

Those are the exact ones that I had that kept breaking. Been at least 7-8 years ago so was foggy on exactly which ones I had. Randu

They are made from 1/2 inch plywood cut out on a band saw.

Oooh I like that. I've never used the Lynx blocks because I didn't like the non-flat top of them. That looks like the perfect solution. Good thinking. Thanks.

Hmmmmm.....been using them for years and still got all them. When it's hot they will deform a little but seem to go back into shape after a while.

I had a set and I broke 1/2 of them. Switched back to wood and have a better footprint and wood don't crush. (splits once in a while but no crushed pieces to pick up) I use different pieces of 2X8. Randu

On edit maybe mine were not Lynx but a cheaper knock off sold at CW. They were yellow and had a flat top and not as much webbing compared to the pictures posted after my post. Randu

Sitting on a Lynx leveler is by far less harmful to your tire than hitting pot holes, cracks, uneven surfaces, etc. going down the road. One is stattic load, the other has dynamic forces involved. A static load is much easler for a tire to handle.

Yup.......
