I wouldn't set the trailer weight down on those tiny little stabilizer jacks. Your trailer has a tongue jack that should be holding 10% of the trailer weight (about 400lbs) that leaves 3400 for the trailer axels. How about buying two more jack stands and putting one on each end of each axle? That would only be 850 lbs each jack stand, assuming your trailer is balanced.
