NEVER! EVER! Trust jacks to support the load long term. Jack it.. Block it. A jack can and will fail before a wood block will.

Need to specify to use a hardwood block such as oak for something that heavy.
My company went from using oak blocks to the composite turtle plastics in all the service vans. Guys were making some of their own from pine and other soft stuff and that’s wasn’t good. We have a variety of sizes and lengths now plus wheel chocks too. Glad they made the investment in us and they work great.
