Agree, I use wooden blocks, generally 2x 8-10" stacked, though have a few out of plywood too & they're stout. Glued and screwed. The rubber helps the grip too, I nearly learned a very hard lesson using painted blocks, SEMI-GLOSS. Don't do that either, less than level your trailer can end up in the river with you on it, dirt was like concrete.
