.... Seen some guys just use blocks of wood but isn't there a risk of slippage if you just use some blocks of wood? Thanks for any info.
I think you mean "planks" of wood? I use 2x8 and 2x10 planks, roughly 3 feet long (long enough to have both tires fit on it with a 2 axle trailer). Ends of the planks are cut at a 45 deg angle. Never had "slippage" that I can remember.
Biggest pro with wood over plastic is weight capacity - I just don't worry about the boards cracking or collapsing.
Biggest con with wood is weight and bulk - the plastic Lego-like blocks are so light and so convenient with how they stack together.
Which is why I also have the Lego-like blocks. I use them as needed when leveling.
But.... I actually use them more as bases for the stabilizing jacks, and also to level things like maybe a picnic table and our grill.
The plastic blocks are quite versatile. So I have both wood and plastic.
