Blocks Under Jacks?

Does having more blocking under your jacks equate to less bounce in your TT? We only have a single set of orange blocks that get dispersed among the stab jacks. Would we get less bounce in the TT if we bought a second set of blocks? What if we used a 6x6 in addition to the orange blocks?

What about the tongue jack? I assume the more it's extended the more bounce you'll have too.

    When we had a TT I used the metal jack stands like used under mobilehomes. You can get them online or at an independant RV supply store.

    I was able to use these stands under the frame near each corner of the TT to get the weight off of the springs, sometimes the tires would be off of the ground on one side depending on how unlevel the spot was. I also used the tongue jack with a 6X6 block under it. Wheel chocks and the TT was very stable.
