Is there a need for tire locks??

If you have a 6 point leveling system, would there be a need for tire locks?

You're talking those X wheel locking chocks right? I had a set on my travel trailer then when we upgraded to the 5'er I've never used them. The 6-point level is super solid. On sloped sites, it's not uncommon to lift one or even both tires off the ground. Tire chock is pretty useless at that point. Also, I've never felt the need for a kingpin tripod either with the 6-point hydraulic system.

I'm going to ask for clarity so we know what you are asking. Are you wanting to lock your wheels so no one can steal them or so that the trailer doesn't roll? Or maybe a third option? This could be answered a couple of ways.

The ones that simple keep your wheels from moving.

With the 6 point system there isn't really a need for them, the legs on each side of the axles provide the contact points and make the unit very stable. I've used my x chocks with the system, it didn't add any value.

I use chocks just to keep the rig from moving when I unhook and before I put the 6 jacks down. Probably not a big deal on level site but they are not all level.
