tall leveling blocks?

[texasAUtiger]

My TT sits pretty tall off the ground. For example, right now in the driveway the stabilizers are 23-24" from the ground. This is what happens when we camp as well.

Now, my scissor-jack style stabilizers are 24" when maximally extended, and my understanding is that stabilizers become much weaker and prone to bending the closer they get to fully extended. Therefore, I am looking for something to stack on the ground under the base of the stabilizer to make it where I don't have to so fully extend them.

Last time I used two stacks of 2x4's under each stabilizer but this took EIGHT pieces of lumber per stabilizer which meant I need to lug around 32 pieces in addition to what I need for my tongue jack.

Surely there is a better way! Using larger pieces of lumber might be an option but the footprint of the stabilizer is 4.5"x8" so I'd want something at least 6"x10". I don't know if tall blocks of lumber come in that large of sizes. Cement/cinder blocks do well but they are heavy and could crack getting them in and out of the truck.

Suggestions?

I built these for those few campgrounds we stay in that the pad is not completely level.

I'll have to explain this since I don't have a picture.
Two pieces of 2 x 10 cut to 1' ft in length. Each piece has a 1 1/2" slot cut down the middle to a depth of 6" or half of the piece. The pieces slide together into the slots, forming a cross and can be stood upright. This is a really strong stand and is easily stored as the pieces lie flat while in storage. They can also be used as leveling blocks under tires when siting or as a temporary wheel chock.

I made wood boxes that could fit inside each other so as to save space then I got tired of lugging wood boxes around and bought 30 in stabilizers.

I made boxes , make em so than can be flipped on their sides to get a different height !

I use (2) 4' X 6" x 12" pieces of wood bolted together to give me 10" height. Works great. 🙂

I have a 4X4 and 2X4 bolted together side by side (6" long) and permanently attached to the stabilizer base on the 4 corners.

Use 4x4x12". I carry 8 of them so I can cross stack for better support and if I need more height I'll use my big Lego blocks. I like the 4x4's as they create a larger foot print for better stability.

Lynx Levelers work well. They don't take up much room and come in a carrying case. I carry 2 sets. See here

X-2 Build blocks

Mine are made from short lengths of Stacked 2X10's screwed together with a rope handle to retrieve them.

I built boxes for this purpose... Stacking lots of lumber like you said was a pain. Some folks stack multiple sets of Lynx Levers also.

My lifts are made from 3/4 inch exterior plywood glued and screwed to make a box. The bottom is open. I drilled large holes in the sides so I can finger grab them....and painted them black.
