As long as most of the trailer weight rests on the wheels the suspension is going to do its job and the trailer will ‘wiggle’.
Each persons tolerance for the amount of wiggle varies. What some people call rock solid will make others sea sick.
The only way to eliminate all movements is to jack the trailer up off the suspension and put the weight on solid supports. That is what hydraulic or electric ‘self leveling’ jack systems do. Get weight off the suspension and tires.
X chocks do help remove some movement. So do JT strong arms, so does putting blocks under the stairs. Almost all of us use a combination of methods.
