Looking for an alternative to wood to put under my jack stands when we are parked. I've seen those orange blocks that look compact.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
I think this is called a Lynx leveler?

Saw this fence post support at the hardware store and thought this might work?

I use base plates for Hi-Lift farm jacks. Practically indestructible. I got mine at the "4-Wheel-Parts" local store, but I think they are also available at Farm City.

Lynx levelers would be a lot less expensive.

I like the wood better, the levelers are harder to clean.

I have the Lynx Levelers and as nice as they are, like stated above, collect mud dirt, etc. But then I have an outdoor shower, so a quick rinse and on the road.

Spreads the load out, and they were free to the trailer.
I have a stack of the orange lego blocks, but we never use them.
