Stock 17" RK tire, pin is in the 2nd hole from rear. 1st hole didn't quite allow the tire to roll forward enough to feel safe.

They do have plastic spacers now. Im not sure how they work. Maybe buy the widest one and use the spacers. Give them a call. They were helpfull when I purchased mine.

Forgot to update, tried a different hole and yes it does rock out much easier now. Thanks for the heads up!

Which holes did you use to make it easy? I believe there are different ones front and back of tire.
I have the HF chock and I found the trick is adjusting it so the front wheel just goes into the chock and the bracket stays level and doesn't allow the wheel to go too far forward and down. Hard to explain but makes sense when you do it. Also I bolted the chock to a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" plywood (you could bolt it to the floor) so that the rear wheel holds it in place when you pull out of the chock.

I think that you could make the ol' in n out easy as pie if you just set a piece of 1/2" plywood in the channel, raising the height of the tire in the locked position. As long as the pivot pin is the high point and you still have the over center action, it should work fine. You might need to adjust the stop back one setting as suggested because lifting the front of the chock up moves the back of the chock back.
