Cheap, easy to make and easy to use.
I made these trailer jacks for my trailer, I was looking for the plastic ones but decided they were too expensive. It was wondered if they would work with my trailer, it has independent suspension, and it does. For me these are a piece of mind to have in the truck. Quicker and easier than messing with a jack and jack stands. I would almost think they are safer as well. You may not be able to tell but I actually tested mine on a slight incline to see if there would be any issues if it wasn't flat.
I went to Home Depot's bargain bin, back by the saw in the lumber and bought two piece's of 2x8 redwood for $0.50 each, they are even treated. Used the chop saw set to 45 degrees. Drilled some started holes and screwed in 8 screws.
It was pointed out that there is a how to over on WW, mine are slightly different. http://www.wakeworld.com/news/feature/simple-jack.html
