Our TM sits in our driveway with the jack stem sitting directly on several sections of 2x6 pressure treated lumber stacked on top of each other and screwed together. I do this to get added height, as it is parked on a hill, and the tongue sits up fairly high to get the TM level. I'd say there is ~1/16" indent from the jack stem in the board....it certainly shows no sign of splitting.
We always just rest it on a board while camping, unless we need extra height, in which case I slip on a metal foot which adds another 4"-6" or so.
