Tongue jacks nearly always have just the flange locating it. The jack will wobble when you push side to side and that bucket will do nothing. If you locate the tongue with a plate, in a way that stops the movement, the trailer will then be "pinned" in place.
I did the same thing ...
'Though in my case for a different reason - I replaced the original LCI jack with a 2.25" lower shaft with an UltraFab that has a 2" lower shaft. To prevent wobble I bolted in this plate and made the tolerances so exact that the tongue jack is really stable. :B
I added stabilizer jacks to the center of the trailer and now have six jacks. I tighten the rear jacks firmly, the center lacks moderately, and the front jacks just a little. Any weight the forward stabilizers carry is weight off of the tongue jack. By doing this, the now stable tongue jack helps to prevent movement in all directions and I see no need for any fancy chocking or other purchased add-on.
