I actually moved my scissors jacks towards the center of the trailer about 18" or so front and rear. This was for two reasons. The first was by moving them I received a lot of ground clearance as they were mounted to the hitch A frame up front and the bumper brackets on the rear at the factory. I got an extra 5"-6" clearance which prevents the (rear especially) from dragging on the ground. Secondly moving them inwards makes the span of my long 33" trailer frame much shorter. Think of the trailer like a bridge, the longer the span the more flex in the middle. I also added another set of jacks in front of the front axle. I also use the Steadyfast system. My trailer is pretty solid.
