I thought about doing something similar with the wood blocks. Great idea using the carriage bolts as dowels. I'd cut more of an angle though to help climbing on. Home made wood blocks will be more durable and much cheaper but a little heavier. I really need to build a front receiver hitch so I can put one of the carriers on the front of the truck.

The plastic leveling block got big gravel wedged into their waffle shape bottoms and split.
I'm currently using wood blocking.
