[p]Had the opportunity to use these neat devices this weekend. The site we had was very uneven side to side and fore/aft. It took 3-2x6's to level up the side to side (because of all the snow base) which doesn't leave many other options for chocking. [/p][p]
[/p][p]The product is advertised in two variants. One for ~1.75 to 3.5" spacing and one for ~3.5 to 5.5" spacing. They both are advertised to fit  26"-30" D tires. We were concerned about these working with our 24" D tires but the large size worked very well for our 4.5" spaced 24" tires on the 16DB. Another great reason to love tandems.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Most of you, if not all, are probably aware of these. Just felt like shouting out about them is all...[/p][p]

Found another use for this wheel stop. You can use it to keep the bed up in the air or open wider by turning the screw end. If you are like most as soon as you put your pillows sheets and blankets on the bed it will no longer stay open by itself.

Good idea for the chock.

I will use the chock to hold it open while a replace the weak air shocks.
