"scout226".....I'm guessing that your four corner jacks are all installed perpendicular to the length of the trailer, which means you are facing the side of the coach as you crank them down. The problem with this is that the coach won't move from side to side, but the jacks can tilt front to back giving you the movement you have.
The jacks should be mounted at a 45 degree angle to the trailer frame. So that one edge of the jack is protruding out the side and the other end is protruding out the rear.
This will restrict the movement. Your jacks are probably welded on, but remounting just the rears would probably help without adding a bunch of additional equipment.
