If the rear axle is chocked solidly (front and back of each tire), why is anything needed at the front? A conventional trailer should not be relying on the tongue jack to prevent movement. How is this one any different in that regard?
Because of the front tires, I can only lower the front so much. I have been where the parking pad is at a slope so that the rear is too low. In those cases, I have to raise the rear axle on blocks and then I can't chock them.
In addition, because the front tires swivel 360 degrees, sometimes when the dogs move around a lot, the movement can cause the front to swivel which in turn moves the rest of the trailer.
So, by chocking the front tires against movement and swivel, I make the entire trailer more movement proof.
I get the minimal movement thing, but you really should continue to chock the rear tires, even on blocks. Get longer blocks if you need to and/or ones you can lock chocks into.
