What do you all use?
I use the same thing, but mine is only about 8" long. I would think something like one of the Lynx blocks wouldn't be flat enough and would allow for more slippage than something wood.

Lynx Levelers, with one of the flat, solid, Lynx blocks on top to make a nice surface.

Hmmmm never even knew those existed ... those Lynx caps are kind of neat and might have to pick up a set if they are reasonable and I run across them.

Unless the ground is soft, there is only dirt under our tongue jack. If soft ground, a Lynx Leveler block.

Like the flag pole thing, will have to look into that.
