Heavy Duty leveling block suggestions
Hi, I rarely use leveling blocks (under tires) but have had some opportunities where one side is a tad lower. I have independent front jacks and the standard scissor jack that came with the CR37...

I do not use blocks.
Gave up on those probably 20 years ago. I noticed some old timers in a club I was in had a different way to level without using blocks.
Dig holes for the high side tires. There are many advantages to this approach. 1. Lowering the unit makes it more stable in windy conditions. 2. No need to use wheel chocks as so long as gravity works, the unit will not roll. 3. less movement inside from people moving around, as gravity forces the unit to remain centered in the holes. 4. The steps do not get too high which can happen with blocks. 5. No blocks to worry about, all you need is a shovel, which is a handy thing to have in camp anyways.
With a little practice we got really good at judging just how deep to make the holes.
