I'm not the one that mentioned the quillbilly. But I think the 2x4 is just there to resist the torque from spinning the bolt that goes to the stuck wedge. I would think the 2x4 up high against the crown could probably take a lot more force with a lot less risk than if the wheel was in the drop outs & used for the same purpose.
You'd probably strip out the threads or break the bolt before the fork bent if the board was up high. I'd grease the threads in any case.
