Long trailers tend to have flexible frames. With stabilizer jacks located at the corners (or near them) this leaves a long run of frame that is supported only by the wheels and they are mounted on springs. When the frame flexes and the suspension bounces you get a lot of movement in the trailer. I'd recomm3end you purchase a cheap set of jack stands that screw up and down to TEST if this is your problem. Walmart sells these jack stands for about $15.00 a set. Place them on the frame CLOSE to the axles but be sure you're NOT trying to support sprung weight (like on the axles themselves). Support only the frame. If this results in a cure for your problem then you can consider having a third set of stabilizer jacks welded on at that point. If it doesn't fix your problem then you're out only the $15.00.
