For tandem axles, the Hopkins Leveling Kit w/ Wheel Chock for Trailers and RVs # HM08200 allows you to lift just one wheel of the two to level the wheels by design. If you want to use longer 2x8s to get both wheels on the board, you can do that it will just mean more storage space with effectively the same result. If that is your desire, you can absolutely do that safely.

I've attached some videos to assist.
