I found the same condition after a couple of trips using the X chocks. I wrote PORT and STARBOARD on them because they are a tad different.
So too did I - even managed to trim the base of each chock about 1/2" and cut a bit off the ends of each threaded rod to shorten the overall length of each chock a bit but if the tires were sitting on soft sand this still wasn't enough. :M Since the street side tires (where the slide is) would consistently spread apart just a touch more than the curb side tires I too marked my BAL chocks by painting a small black band on one and a white band on the other so would always use the same chock on the same side. However, I still ran into situations where one of the darned chocks wouldn't fit and eventually gave up, instead using rubber chocks secured with hardwood spacers -
This method achieves the same result as the BAL chocks but it sure would have been simpler if Norco would offer this chock in a slightly shorter version that would fit every dual axle trailer under all conditions. :R
