Do you mean the Lego block style? If so, they work OK, they can be tricky to chock, and we have been in a a few sites you would need two sets to get level and be able to ramp up to it.. LOL.

We have been very happy with the BAL Leveler. It's the most "work", but many use a cordless drill/driver.

Started using the Anderson last fall.. It can be finicky about what the conditions of the site are, but works well if things are right.

I have the "Lynx" brand and have been happy with them. They are also good for long term storage - in keeping the tires off of the pavement. The orange color will fade if in the sun a lot.

I also use the BAL leveler for raising the one low point wheel. I have two very sturdy rubber chocks that I bought from Home Depot. I Use those on the other wheel. Super stability with the stabilizer jacks down.

I use the orange legos under the stabilizer jacks sometimes.

Lynx Levelers with Lynx Chocks (unless you enjoy that sinking feeling in your gut as your trailer rolls off a 4" stack of Lynx and rolls backward toward a tree).

Plus a Hoppy Hitch Level, which is a dead simple way to determine which wheel needs to be raised and by how many inches.

We have the 2013 with the 3.6 pentastar engine, puts out 283 horsepower. It really does a good job for us. We tow up and down the east coast. We get 12.5-13.5 mpg in Vermont and 14.5-16.5 once we get down to Massachusetts and below. Have always had plenty of power.
