My question is, are these chocks used more for trailers than fifth wheels?
I am unsure whether I should just get four good chocks for behind the wheels, or trust in X-Chocks instead, or should I just pass and let someone else get them?
X-Chocks don't know or care if your rig is a TT or 5th ... BUT they're not designed to actually "chock" the trailer and prevent it from inadvertently shifting, they're designed to reduce suspension "wiggle" when you walk around inside the rig. You still want to chock the tires with some other method that will absolutely prevent the trailer from shifting, as some of us have pointed out in this discussion.
