This is how I do it. I lower the rear stabilizers and tighten the T handles just turn not try to break them. then I hit the front landing gear to get any slack out of the connections on the rear. then I tighten the 4 front JT's and do the same hit the switch to lift the front just enough to get any slack out. the difference is we have the scissor jacks that were before the time for the JT install. Now after some time and if it rains enough I hit the landing gear switch because the ground gets soft. We sit for 6 months. My wife *****es at any movement so when she is happy ya know the deal!!! Any trailer is still sitting on tires and springs. concrete is the best surface for no wiggles, dirt, gravel and GRASS which is the worst will give some. when the JT's were installed the guys really hit the landing gear very hard for a lot of pressure and more than I would ever do. Your story on how you do yours might be the same but it seemed different to me. I know it is hard to explain stuff.
good luck
