I used a 6X6X12 block under each rear stabilizer jack pad so that they do not extend far........wider stance.
Under front landing gear pads I use a 12" plastic pad.

After side to side leveling I unhook and then level front to rear.
THEN I lower front 1" off level........run rear stabilizer jacks down tight
THEN raise front landing gear back up to level.

Other than normal slight bounce from wheels/suspension rig is solid/stable.
