What Wheel Chock Do you prefer. X Chock?

Alternative.

4 x 4 pressure treated, a length of 3/4" galvanized pipe & an inexpensive 3/4" pipe clamp from HF

I made some exactly like that, and posted it about a year ago. I had to look real closely to realize that those weren't My trailer wheels! The pipe clamps work great when snugging up the 4x4's. Nice work, Dakota.

I've always used the cheap plastic wedge-shaped wheel stops on the uphill side and one of these on the downhill side:
(Dang, can't seem to post this as a pic so that it automatically shows up ... anyhow, it's just a pic of two plastic wedges with a bolt that passes through them and allows them to be tightened down between the tandom wheels)

X-chock!

I use the x chocks, and have mixed thoughts on them. Yes they do help in stabilizing the trailer, but I am not sure exactly how tight to crank them. I can see the wheels getting pushed apart as I tighten them, and I am always afraid I am doing some kind of damage by tightening them. I really like the ones Dakota98 has there, they look very nice.

Been using the orange colored plastic chocks and levelers for over 20 years.
Cheap and work just fine.

X chocks they work wonderfully. Cheaper if ordered from Amazon.

Roto chocks, and Andersen Levelers if needed.

Dakota98 That's a great idea!
