X-chocks.
I just received a pair of "X- chocks". According to Amazon they are great. I will be trying them out end of this week. What do you guys think?

Just bought a pair of extended X-chocks. Installed them, and we noticed a big difference in the shaking/bouncing. All the recommendations I got before hand were positive--although one noted to be careful and not over tighten, snug is good!!!

I use one on the door side and it made a difference, but is tight to turn when not betweent the tires so i dont colasp to store. One did the job and elected not to put one on the opposite side, mostly in fear I would forget to remove it before trying to drive off

The chocks are top notch, only the included wrench is junk.

These are my homemade version. I used pressure treated 4x4s and stainless steel threaded rod and hardware.

I stopped using mine, the level-up would take the wheels off the ground sometimes

Love my X chocks as well. Just make sure you don't get distracted and forget to remove them. It took me several minutes to realize we didn't remove them when the fiver wouldn't move. So yes, they do work.

What would happen if they were over tightened?

We don't leave home without them. However, there's always at least one set of conventional chocks at play. They're always in first and out last.

Ummm. You should still use standard chocks. The first paragraph in the instructions provided in the package says to not use the x chock as a tire chock. They are only designed to stop front to back movement. But do what you want. I would still put something behind and in front of the tires.
