No need for expensive hardware, a simple jack or stand will do.
WOW MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU ... You are the ONLY ONE to actually understand and come to the CORRECT SOLUTION IMO of course.

I have read your posts on this topic in the past and how you treat others with disdane that don't agree with your opinion. If what you've done in your particular situation makes you happy, that's just peachy.
I already tried "a simple jack" in 4 locations and they did very little to reduce vertical movement or movement along the other two directional axes. I could say more but why bother except to say we have a set of 4 lightly used aluminum stacker jacks available to someone.
Simply trying "a simple jack" in 4 locations doesn't tell me anything and in fact tells me you really either did not read or did not understand "MY METHOD". Both the locations (i.e. correct distance in front and to the rear of each axle) and setting them correctly is imperative to get the proper results. You statement that they did little to reduce vertical movement demonstrates this failure to install and use them correctly. Almost w/o exception those only putting a pair of jacks close to one axle have reported an improvement and even in this thread this improvement has been called "greatly" so you are in the minority that has not seen some at least improvement which tells me you did something wrong and I bet are not willing to learn or correct where you failed in using these "extra" supports.
And your right I have my opinion and you have yours and there is nothing wrong with that even if our opinions are incorrect and I really don't believe your post rings true and is more than likely made just to be negative w/o offering any positive potential solution so "BOUNCE AWAY" while I will "SLEEP STEADY AND SOUND".
