BAL extending chocks and Lacrosse
Does anybody know if the standard size BAL chocks work for the EZ TOW axles that the Lacrosse has? My guess is they dont extend far enough and I will have to use something else. Dont pick up the new trailer till the 24th of this month so I cant go out and measure.

You have to get x-tend Xchocks. I ordered 2 weeks ago and used this weekend works great. I couldn't find on camping world website so I called them and ordered over phone.

Another option is Rotochoks. In my opinion a better chock, but a little bit more money.

chocks
If you are handy and have the material, you can just make longer links that connect the curved pads and use the old ones.

I love my X-Tend X-Chocks! Well made, easy to use and solid! Bought them for my Tracer 3150BHD.

Economical Chocks
Yes, I just purchased some threaded rod with nuts and washers and used some 4x4 that I had from gardening edging. Total cost approx $16.00.

x-Chocks Extended
Mrs. Wildwood and the saplings bougth me an early Fathers Day present, a pair of X-Chocks Extended for the LaCrosse. She ordered them last Monday from AdventureRV.net for just under $150 delivered to the door today. I guess if there is anything else I need for the LaCrosse I will just say I need it and wait for her to order. (HaHa as if that would work every time). Going on a 2 week trip the end of June and will try them out then and give report on how they did.

I have them and use them every try. They are great and you will be happy with them. Just make sure u level the rv first before you lock those in. I have a pair of the 4 dollar plastic ones I use while leveling...once I'm level I lock in the x- chicks, remove the yellow checks, and put the stabilizer jacks now....solid as a rock every time...enjoy your trip

X chocks or anything else help with for and aft movement.
But like our 5er all the beds are sideways and side to side movement was horrible. That's where stabilizing bars shine.
I do not use x chocks or anything of the like.
4x4 between tires is all that's needed
