The OP IS NOT using your "chock"..
Makes YOUR "pile" under the tongue a HORRIBLE IDEA.
BALONEY. From my FIRST post in this thread back on Page 1 I offered to the OP this comment ...
"The scenario described can't happen IF the trailer is properly chocked. This is why I use the weight of the trailer bearing down on a set of wheel pads to absolutely prevent my trailer from shifting on my significantly sloped driveway which also requires an 18" stack under the tongue jack to level the trailer."
The scary scenario the OP described was NOT due to the fact he had his tongue jack sitting on a stack but the fact that his trailer tires were not properly chocked. Chocking his trailer using a set of wheel pads - as I've detailed and illustrated with a pic - will absolutely prevent the trailer from shifting even a millimeter. Do this and one can use ANYTHING under the tongue jack, including a triple stack as I do. Your admonition that this is a "HORRIBLE IDEA" continues to be 100% incorrect. :S
