I haven't used any sort of leveling blocks in at least 15 years. I do sometimes use homemade wheel chocks, but they really are not needed.

Lowering the TT makes it more stable especially in wind. It makes the steps lower as well. And all you need is a shovel, which is a real handy thing to have in camp anyway.

The first time it was my TT. We got a LOT of sudden rain. The ground gpt saturated and soft. The blocks sort of tilted as they sank int the earth. I was lucky. I have seen others suffer from a ruined tounge jack from this, and some with damaged stabilizers
Camp grounds don't mind you digging holes? What about the poor person that camps after you?
That was my first thought
