Called Anderson and they mailed me a complete roll of them at no charge. I have also used the buckets when I repack bearings. They can definitely support the whole weight of the 5th with no issues.
I also have the Anderson Ultimate hitch and that hasn't "folded up" either. I'm always careful not to "just repeat" what I see on the internet without personal experience.

I agree with this comment. I am on my third year with these and have lifted the wheels right off the ground with no issue. They do provide more stability as you don't extend the jacks as far. I have lost a couple magnets and will contact Anderson for replacements. I originally got them because I had dragged my rear jacks a couple times on steeper inclines, so I raised them a couple holes and have not dragged them since, but was concerned about over extending those jacks so the Aderson blocks was the solution.
