Wow, that's the first I've ever heard of that Charlie. And such a clean break too. Perhaps it was defective when molded and somehow snapped along a bad injection mold line. Considering how hefty they...

Yes, for a tandem axle, a pair. The wedges are important too, because they turn the levelers into an effective chock, wedging them in place. You can see the wedges if you look closely at the photos...

I haven't seen the package of two pairs, just one pair. Don't know why you'd need 4 of them

Cut about an inch and a half, maybe two inches max from one of them. I beveled the cut so the tire would more easily go up the ramp. Don't worry really about the amount to cut. Eyeballing it is...

Ironically, the photo above was taken before I trimmed one of them. They still "fit" that way, but it took a little persuasion with a mallet.

I had a bit of motion using X-chocks too, until I figured out they had to be tighter. Honestly, they work very well when used properly. I wouldn't necessarily use them as my only means of...

You always want to prevent forward or backward motion. That's why you immobilize the wheels. You can do so with conventional chocks, or with something like the X-chocks. Having used X-chocks...

Again, X-chocks don't really prevent "bounce". I tell you this after having used them for almost 3 years. The up and down motion of the trailer (rocking, bounce or whatever you want to call it) is...

A good point. Another thing that hasn't been mentioned is that much of the time, in addition to the X-Chocks, I'm using Andersen levelers in order to level the trailer side to side, and with the...

I'm going to disagree that you can't use x-chocks exclusively. You can, with a couple of caveats. First, you should use a ground chock when your trailer is parked on a severe slope. X-chocks work...
