Lift blocks
Is it ok to use wooden lift blocks? I was thinking of just cutting some to fit. Seems like it would be a lot cheaper and I can just replace them every year or so. What do you think?

If it were me I'd use LEGO blocks. They're actually cheaper than wood.

Pine would be your best choice, you'll get a softer ride with it, paintable or stainable doesn't matter. Just don't park next to a termite nest though

This what you finish product should look like:
