If you put one block cross ways in front of the tire and the other as a ramp going up you can actually get a TON of adjustability out of the setup.
The wood blocks can also double as makeshift shovels if you need to scrape some dirt away to drop a tire down a little.

I like to use the plastic "lego" blocks that you can buy in the RV section at Walmart. They are solid when stacked and are very lightweight.
Ditto on the Legos (Lynx Levelers). I sometimes drop the pressure in the air bags for quick leveling too. Generally though, I do my damndest to find a level place to park.

(camped near the base of the magnificent Notch Peak on the west side of the House Range in western Utah.)
This is what I do now:
(camped at the mouth of North Twin Creek on the east side of the Toiyabe Range in central Nevada.)
These are 2"x10" (which are wider than necessary, but that's OK), in 3 lengths so that when stacked as needed they form a little ramp tower to make it easy to drive up on.
They're kinda bulky and heavy (though only cost $7 in lumber), and I'd prefer a lighter-weight solution if it was long-lived/durable.

Oh, the airbags - I also carry a small bike pump in my roof box so I can fill them back up after deflating to get it leveled out.
