Jack shims
Since I've had to put 4" of pink foam in the pickup bed to accommodate the higher cab on my Ford, I'm nearing the maximum travel on my jacks. An inch or two would really help. What to you use, if any...

What is your camper weight?
I've been using campers with 4000 + lb dry weight and when I bought them, both of them had extender plates bent. I estimate when I am lifting my loaded camper, front jacks carry over 2000 lb EACH and it doesn't take much for the thing to star going.
Extensions will only magnify the problem, so I would rather carry some wide wood planks, what will also give you option for easy shimming on uneven pad.
