Sprehoda,

We've done both the extra blocks under the Level-Up jacks and the roto-chock type wheel locks.

We still experience some movement, but in our case, it isn't a bother. If it gets that way, I just go outside and "bump" each side of the Level-Up. The blocks help in that they keep the cylinder ram from being extended too far. With the "body" of the cylinder still being around more of the ram, it helps to strengthen the cylinders.

When I used to work on the farm, a lot of our equipment had hydraulic rams for raising and lowering the implements. Those that had a single cylinder on top of the implement would usually have them arranged horizontally. One could watch that cylinder "flex" in the center if the ram was fully extended.
