Best material for jack supports?

I store my TC inside, and currently have some Square wood jack supports made out of plywood. I'd like to have some more, so that I don't have far to lower the camper when removing it from the truck. I found a bunch of wood shelves made from sawdust?. Are these strong enough to support the camper legs? Anybody got any other ideas? The ones I have now are about a foot square, and originally used to support scaffolding. THANKS

    You don't want stacks of wood under the jacks. It is not stable.

    I use 2 pieces of 4X4 and three pieces of 2X4.

    The spacing between the 4X4s is the width of a 2X4 and the 2X4s are fastened to to 4X4s with 4" deck screws.

    I'll post a photo later (battery dead in camera).
