I was thinking that I could also use them in the parking lot at work for the truck tire level as well. In the meantime I cannot buy anything until the correct torklift tie down arrives in the mail and I install them.
dont waist money on thoes for loading and unloading they wont hold up to the weight of camper jacks on them. just figure out how much more hight you need then either use a cinder block with wood on top or just build good heavy duty wood blocks out of scrap 2x4's

Right. I don’t think OP plans to unload in the hospital parking lot?
Use the cinder blocks at home.
We seldom unload when using the TC, pretty much unload only at home.
wasnt taking about takeing it off when camping. If the jacks on the camper are hydraulic they shouldn;t be used for anything but loading and unloading. so thats the only place I use cinder blocks. to level the camper you should level the truck, for that thoes bloces will work, but I wouldnt put them under any jack with out a chunk of 2X wood the same size to spread the weight out. seen a bunch of small jack feet blast right through them.
