Setting up camp on unlevel ground
Any suggestions for products for "cribbing up" the jacks on unlevel ground?

That was my thoughts. Maybe a few 1x4s too. I just didn't know if there was some really cool stuff out there

I carry a bunch of 2X10’s. And I’ve used them many times. They are for parking in or under the jacks or both.

I use Camco and Lynx leveling blocks. Have two sets of the Camco doubles for the wheels, and one set of Lynx levelers for each of the stabilizer jacks. A little bit of overkill, but it beats not having enough and then having to stack rocks for the jacks like I did once before. (Lesson learned. Lol)
Easy to use, easy to carry, easy to clean.

We've had great luck with the lego-style blocks as well, but have only had to level side to side with them once. We use them under the stabilizer and tongue jacks, though. They're great. Hose 'em off and let them dry in the shower on our way back.

Same here. And compared to the cost of buying a pressure treated 4x4 they are one heck of a deal.

I carry two Pressure treated 4x8x24 planks. 99% of the time I just use my 9" SnapPads.
The 4x8s are good the drive-up on to work under the FR3.

I make sure the front is lower than the rear wheels by no more than Seven (7) inches.

After FR3 is leveled with front wheels off the ground:
SnapPads in action:
Boondocking at Cabela's Store in Anchorage, Alaska.
The only issue I had with the front wheels off the ground is the bottom door step. It was a foot off the ground. My Wife has a problem with the last step.

Above is one of my post about Leveling my FR3.
Get Snapads or place blocks under the jacks before leveling.
Never lift the rear wheels.

I took a piece of PT 2x10, cut into 1 ft blocks.
Then cut an 1.5 inch slot half way thru in the middle of each, so they slide together and make an X. Store ours in a milk crate with other assorted size boards.

Thanks guys. My wife was at a youth rodeo with the grand kids last week and the parking was terrible.. Four or five inches out of level side to side. I think the Lego style blocks look like a plan.
