You got a problem if you pick up a tire. Stabilizer jacks are not meant to be able to do that. You should have blocks of some sort under the wheels as needed to level, then put stab jacks down just to keep it from bouncing on the springs.
@jpr26789 is right, put 6x6 under the stab jacks, as the shorter extension they have, the more stable they'll be.
And boy, if it feels bouncy/rocky to you, that is a sure sign that it is THIS close to falling off those jacks, tongue jack included.
And you do not want it falling off those jacks. That bends things in ways you do not want to see. Don't ask how I know.
I've been on slopes like that in the mountains, and getting the trailer both level and stable can be a real challenge. As is, sometimes, that bottom step getting in and out of the trailer.
