When I had my TC I used to put 2 sets of freight pallets under it
stacked 2 high that gave lots of stability and about 8 inches of lift and they were free. uou could stack them higher if you wanted

Here's how I do it - two 29 inch sawhorses with a 4x4 and a 2x6 keeps the camper rock steady at 34 inches, which is the height of my truck bed. I split the load equally between the sawhorses and jacks. This works best for me since I have manual jacks, I only need to give them a couple of cranks, pull out the sawhorses and back the truck in. The sawhorses "claim" to be good for 2000 lbs each.
Also, I've heard that Black Widows won't go over 30 inches above the ground

I wound up using the narrower cinder blocks stacked two together on their sides with a stacker jack centered over the middle cement column. These are only meant to support the base of the camper and remove the wiggle from it when offloaded and occupied at my Fulltime site. The corner jacks are all loaded as well and the camper does not budge, nor has a cinder block failed. The jack feet themselves, rest on plywood squares on top of 16x16 concrete pavers that sit directly on the ground. Camper does not sink, and does not wiggle.
I would personally, never put cinder blocks under the feet of the camper, too high and too narrow, just asking for failure.

If you must use cinder blocks, fill the holes with concrete first.
Also, that's a wives tail about black widows not going high. They go everywhere they want to.
