How much pressure/torque on "stabilization" jacks?

On manual stabilization jacks on a travel trailer how much pressure do you feel is right without over doing it? My feeling is it's nice to have "bounce" out of frame but I don't want to break/bend ...

Stabilizing jacks will not take the 'bounce' out.......that is due to tires and suspension still on ground. (jack under frame at wheels will)

I run front of trailer down (below level), set rear stabilizers snug and then run front of trailer up to level.

They stay UP while traveling cause no one is turning jack screw.......friction.
