I use the yellow 'lego' blocks.  Pack more compactly and are much lighter than the 2X6s I used before.

I use these also, but carry several boards to go on the ground to reduce the damage caused by rocks on the bottom unit. A board also reduces the bottom one’s tendency to sink into soft earth.

Lynx Levelers

[Optimistic Paranoid]

I try to use what's on site, rocks, firewood, branches etc. But also carry various lengths of 1" plywood cut 11" wide x 8,10,12 etc. I found that 2x s can split, at least the lumber I've used. And the ply makes a great jack base when off pavement and jack stand base at home on grass.

 

Always like to chock a wheel or two when using a tall leveler, I guess 'cause it's never really level    Some folks carry a bubble level for precision, adjust tire pressure etc.

 

The trick to using 2X lumber is to screw two pieces together with the grain at right angles.  That way they really can't split under any REASONABLE amount of weight.

The thing I use most to level is a short square nose shovel. Generally, when camping on sand or dirt, it's much easier to dig a shallow hole for 1 or two wheels. If you dig too deep, you can always fill it back in a little. I do carry a couple of 18" long 2 x 6 pieces for hard surfaces, or use rocks.

I usually go with the yellow leveling blocks first. I've also used my Maxtrax for leveling, and will adjust my airbag pressure from side to side to help level out as well.

Lynx, but also carry scrap 10" LVL beams cut into 10" x 10" squares.

I use these - the yellow stepped ramps from Camco.  If I need a third wheel lifted, I use a red plastic hi-lift jack plate I carry for jacking.

I use the level trex blocks and have been happy with their strength.
