I just use a 8" long piece of 2x6 under my tongue jack.  I've got a couple of them and also use them under the stabilizers when the ground is soft/sandy.

They also have baseplates.

I have a round foot that slips under the jack when in use. I toss it in the back of the truck when underway. I found it in a clearance bin at the local RV store, no packaging, I think it cost me $2. Even new, they're pretty inexpensive.
 
 
Before I found that I used a chunk of treated 3/4" plywood I had around the shop.
