X-chocks and 6 point levelers
Do the x-chocks still get used to lock the tires when you have a 6 point leveler system ?

I used x-chocks on my last 2 5th wheels that did not have auto level. Loved them, but with my new 5th wheel with auto level, I noticed right away that as the legs go down and the trailer goes up the weight is taken off the tires and leaf springs. This causes the springs to relax and x-chocks get loose to where they almost fall out. I sold the x-chocks on Craigslist and went back to rubber wheel chocks on the side of 5th wheel that won't need as much height. I do that to keep it from possibly bending auto level legs if it were to roll while unhooking or hooking back up.
I'm kind of in the same boat. My x-chocks would fall out too. Now I throw a couple of MaxHaul rubber chocks under one wheel before I unhitch. Then Auto Level. If I'm parked for more than a couple of nights, I put the x-chocks back in for perceived safety and stability. It's probably arguable whether they are needed or not.
