stabilizer feet for hydraulic jacks

Hi,
I am buying a 2011 Jayco Melbourne Class C with hydraulic leveling jacks. The feet on the jacks are small and need pads to keep them from sinking into gravel or other soft ground. What are recommendations for pads?
Ive seen many types and materials and extreme ranges in price. Is it best to go cheap plastic, or spend more for the bigger rubber one?

Thanks, Newbie, many questions to come. :-)

The basic lego leveler blocks work great

That said

Kinda depends on the size of the feet on yer jacks. 2" rd is a lot of psi on a block. 4" rd isnt

SnapPads for Melbourne

I have installed SnapPads https://rvsnappad.com/collections/mini on my Melbourne 24L. These are permanent foot protection pads and offer a slightly larger footprint on the ground. Of course portable pads (plastic or otherwise) could be used in conjunction to offer a larger footprint and reduce the travel distance of the jack if needed.

You could always buy a 2x8 or 2x10 and make your own.
