The rear flipper is adjustable for different sizes of wheel...So for a bigger wheel you more the flipper further away from the front of the stand.
Whats the coupon code? I want one of these for when I can use the jack.

Actually on this one, the front is adjustable and the back is stationary. It wil work with a 21" I'm sure because mine is a 17" and I still have a couple more slots to go. If it wasn't quite enough you could drill 2 more holes at the rear to move it back more.
On the coupon code, I used it and tossed it but do a search for HF Wheel Chock coupon code and you will find one.

[QUOTE=onthelo;9483216]I have a 21 and it works just fine, great post love your ideas, already had the idea about the board down the middle but 2x6 on the side is just the ticket to get it out totally unassisted,(leverage)

when you put this setup in your trailer do you bolt the board down or just butt it up against the front of the trailer?
I see you used an 8' piece of wood. My trailer has a ramp built in the floor so I cannot use a full 8'. I am mounting it to a 6' piece,. do you think this will be an issue when I use it in the garage?

I will measure and you should too but I think 6' is going to be too short. When you hit the chock with the front tire, the back tire needs to be on the board to keep the chock from leaping forward.

It took mine one step forward and bolted it to the garage floor. If I need to pull a car or trailer in the garage I just remove the front prtion of the choke.

Well, thanks to a few good members on the forums, I got the codes for a really good price on the HF chocks. I finally got them setup last week but still have to paint the setup and add the 2x6 to the sides for extra backup support but I have a few pics. I used T-nuts on the bottom to mount 3/8" bolts from the top. Seems pretty secure and the way they are setup, I can put them in a trailer or move them around the garage but still not worry about them sliding around.
