Bal X chocks and leveling blocks
Can you use these two products together ? Do the x chock work well on reducing movement (wobble)inside the tt.

any tandem wheel chocks will help with movement. using them along with stabilizers will reduce it dramatically. but you'll still get some.
to fully eliminate it, you'll have to take the trailers off its axles and put it on a slab.

Yes the two do work together. As for the chocks to get the best benifit out of them you will need to put them on each side of your unit. Using the X chocks does help in reducing the movement.

YES. The X chocks go between the dual axle tires to basically lock them together, and thus prevent movement. You really need touse one on the left side, and one on the right. The leveling blocks go under the tires where needed to level out uneven terrain, usually from side to side. Hope this clears up your question! Randy

Without X Chocks on my V-Lite we have to take motion sickness pills, especially on gravel. Use the leveling blocks first then put on the chocks.

I have been thinking of getting some X chocks for my Wildwood 27RBEC, however the distance between the tandems is substantual. Plus the side skirt comes down between them to a point that I would have difficulty tightening the chock.
Any suggestions?

Seems to me that you could simply use them "upside down" (Adjusting nut at the bottom, instead of at the top)

Between dual X Chocks and a heavy duty Kingpin Stabilizer Tripod, which would you get the biggest improvement from? I'm curious if anyone has experience with both to make a good comparison.

I have plans somewhere for a set. I bought some "all thread" and have the wood and other hardware. Just need to build them. However I am in the market for some new tires. I already know that I will be getting a different size in order to get radials. So I'm not going to do anything until I get them on. What type are you running and are you happy with them?
Thanks for the reply.

I use a pair of X-Chocks and I made a set of blocks for under the stabilizers that are made from 2x10's and are abt 14" square and abt 12" high. Using the 12" high blocks keeps the stabilizers from having to be dropped to far and the trailer seems much more stable because of that. The only thing we notice now is some bounce because of the type of suspension, I may look at a couple jacks but it really does not bother us so the money could be better spent.
