Level up system and x chocks

After having a level up system installed, I put my x-chocks on before using the auto level mode. After the coach levels it self, the x-chocks are lose enough to just remove with no effort. Is any one else experiencing this with their x-chocks?
Thanks,
Donald

Yep, at that point I remove them as there isn't much weight left on the wheels for them to do much good. At first I retighten them, but if you don't remove them or loosen before you pull up the jacks there will be alot of pressure on them.

Thanks. I guess I will still put them on to unhook and then put them away.

I gave my X-chocks away to my daughter for her trailer. As you said they fall out when you are level. I now just use one set of the old style chock blocks, one in front of the wheel and one in back of the wheel.

As soon as I level the rig, I remove the chocks. You have six points of contact. I don't put them back for hooking up because You still have six points of contact after you connect to the hitch until you hit the retract button. So the chocks are not necessary unless you plan on leaving your truck in neutral.

If I am on a reasonably level site, I only use a behind-the-wheel chock. Sloped sites make it a different matter.
