The snap pad can only provide support but its advantage is it is always attached so if your site is reasonably level, you don’t have to walk around and drop utility blocks.
The snap pads work well in conjunction though I do wish the utility blocks were just a bit wider.
John, knock on wood but I have not had the popping which others have required the stiction elimination oil for. I can’t say if the snap pads have had any effect. They are very hard highly compressed recycled rubber. They could provide some shock absorbion(relief) if this pop is looking for a path of least resistance so I’m also interested in hearing other’s experience in case the problem developes.

So updating my own post. I decided I was no longer comfortable with the stability of the utility blocks stacked to the height I required when storing my trailer for long periods like winter. I ordered stacks of camco 4X2 stackable blocs but stacked them in an alternating/interlocking square creating 4X4 blocks. Here are pictures before and after.
