Best chocks for auto leveling system?

We just bought a Jayco Eagle with the Lippert Ground Control 3 4-point leveling system. Is it better to use basic yellow wedge chocks or can in-between tire chocks be used (and are the better)?

It's not.

Standard wheel chocks here. Preventing tire rotation with between-the-wheel chocks is less effective as the leveling system can take weight off the tires and reduce traction between the locked tires and the ground. Regular old wheel chocks work by preventing movement of the wheel relative to the ground, so traction doesn't enter the equation.

We have the same levelling system I just use the wedge chocks, quick and easy and don't take up much room and cheap to loose. My personal rule with chocks is first things in and last things out. I have heard that if the tighten up type are tightened up too much they can throw the axles out of alignment, whether thats true or not I don't know.
