I use the X-chocks as well as heavy duty rubber truck chocks. No need to ask me why!!!

So you then dig out under the frame and bottle jack the trailer back up to the riser blocks and inspect for damage. No damage done but off to the store to buy some X chocks. But again don't ask me how I know this.
Don't ask me why I do this but: I leave the TV safety chains on the TT until the chocks are in place and the tongue jack and stabilizers are down.

I had a slip off the leveling blocks happen once and luckily I had the safety chains still attached which also pulled the brake pin out... I then decided I needed to build me a jack stand for the tongue jack that it sat down into and would hold it solid. now I use x chocks and the front stand and it wont move
