I like to lift the weight off the truck when my TC and truck are in the shed. I also don't like extending the jacks all the way down (close to 3 feet). I was wondering what kind of blocking you all use that do the same without having to lower all the way to the ground. I don't move the truck so I just have to lower it back down to go.
Thanks

My question is why?
The truck's suspension isn't going to be hurt from the weight and if you simply want to take the load off the tires then using the camper's jacks works just fine. It's not like you are supporting the camper 3 feet in the air on just it's jacks, as the truck's bed will keep it stable and if a jack fails it isn't going to fall over.
Use the jacks, it's what they are made for.
I don't know what brand jacks you have but for my Happi-Jacs they make a 6" extension that bolts to the foot which could also be easily modified to a longer length if so desired.
