What is the best way to stabilize 5er?

Have not tried it but I imagine the best location for additional stabilizer jacks would be to the front or rear of the wheels. I would seem that the springs are a weak point given that you have rigid stabilizers at the front and rear.
Now that I have given my untested point of view I would like to hear some tested opinions to help me make an informed decision. Thanks in advance for your responses.

    There are several stabilizing "systems" available. JT Strongarms are probably the most well-know, but BAL also makes a similar system. Several people here have posted DIY stabilizers that utilize the same concept.
