Best Jacks to Stabilize TT
When trying to sleep if one of the kids moves the TT moves and I feel like I am on a boat! We have Jacks (old ones) and new tire chocks. Any recommendations on the best Jacks for better stabilizati...

Look for these kinds of jacks.
For the front, they will run parallel to the length.
For the back, the stab should be running in the opposite direction. Take a look at this photo:
This will get you the most "no shimmy" trailer
Yeah, those should be fairly similar to the JT StrongArms/BAL Lock Arms, though I would think without the lock nut they wouldn't be quite as stiff.
The example I posted, those are BAL jacks, with the pads. You should have 2 of those in the front, pointing in the right direction, then in the back, same thing just as long as your pointing them in another direction.
This will eliminate fore/aft sway and port/starboard sway.
These are all lousy ways (imo) to jack something up to try and stabilize a rig
