Engaging the 4x4 (if you have one) should alleviate or at least minimize the rollaway issue when the rear wheels come off the ground.

The idea is NOT to have the rear wheels off the ground, and try not to bend the trailer frame,as well. Agreed! But apparently some folks aren’t capable of the adequately preparing for that so just tossing the idea out there when somebody starts to unload and realizes they forget the blocks.

Usually it’s not the towing with a half ton truck. It’s the stopping part that soils your pants Trailer brakes are a great invention

Glad it wasn't worse. Outback it ain't necessarily city boys that do things like this. I did the same thing with a Chevy 1 ton, a gooseneck trailer and a tractor. Trailer had kickstands on the ramps too. I rode that thing 100 feet before I gained enough composure to back the tractor back down the ramps. No matter how hard I pushed the brakes on the tractor, the truck wouldn't stop. LOL I was on a driveway, headed slightly downhill, with fresh limestone gravel on it. Scared the crap out of me. I'm pretty sure my butthole pinched a hole in the tractor seat. Watched my dad do the same with a Ford 1 ton. Just a dumb mistake.

Damn, how about loading on flat ground so it doesn’t roll? I’ve had a trailer lift a truck before, not in a long time, but I have never tried to load a heavy load on an incline either. It’s not like it was on the side of a damn mountain..... flattest spot I had available, but apparently it doesn’t take much.

I have 2 trailer jacks mounted on the rear of the trailer. God Bless, David B. First thing I do next weekend is adding some jacks like that, thanks for the idea. Blocks worked for the time being.

Did you just weld the jacks to the frame? I had it done from a friend who owns a machine shop, as my welding is not good enough in my opinion. He made brackets to weld to trailer frame for stability and then welded the jack mounting plates to the brackets. He also made the ramps and the mounting underneath the trailer for the ramps, added the channel mounts along the side of the trailer for chains and straps, and added additional support to the frame underneath. I added electric brakes to one axle. God Bless, David B.

I built my stands with heavy tubular steel.
Just pull a pin, drop em, and pin em.
I like the idea of using the trailer jacks but I would rip those off first ditch I crossed.
