Looking for a solution to carry leveling and jack blocks

Like most, I plan to carry several wooden blocks to use for leveling and to place under stabilizing jacks. With limited outside storage I am looking for creative ideas to carry the blocks in some other manner. Possibly a bumper mounted solution. Anyone have a good idea for this?

I just put them under the wheels and watch the level on the front of my trailer. Literally takes seconds to do.

Interesting concept.

Exactly. Way lighter more compact and probably stronger too ... at least string enough for the task.

X10 on the Lynx. I quit hauling lumber years ago. Both work fine, to each their own.

I carry 2 -----6X6X12 blocks with rope handle for rear stabilizers

I carry 2 -----2X10 boards for leveling side to side
One board is the width of truck bed......other one is 4" shorter and angle cut on ends.
I carry them across bed of truck towards rear.

That is all I've needed in 7 yrs. of FT travel.
If 2 boards under wheels is not enough,,,,,,,,,then I move.

Position rig.....lay board down......back onto it......done.

No pulling leggo blocks out, no stacking, no building of little ramps, no plastic block slipping.

And I can still set wheel chocks on the wood boards.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Currently a 6.2L Tahoe but that will likely change.

I use milk crates to store my wood blocks. I use milk crates for all sorts of storage. They stack easy and can be grabbed easily. But as far as where to store the crates, I have an inside compartment that holds them stacked 2 high.

Could put a cargo carrier on rear attached to the frame not the bumper.

I don't have a solution yet. If you're asking about my trailer it is a 36' Laredo TT. The only outside storage is in the front, under the bed and it will be pretty full with a propane grill and chairs.
