I have also found the wooden block solution adds to stability. As I fully extend my jack, the front seems to sway, especially if the site is sloped nose down and the jack is fully extended.

There is normally more weight on the tongue than on the stabilizer jacks. So it will sink into the ground easier than the jacks. A big footprint helps.
We were given a set of rubber mats. I now like those better than wood -- do not soak up moisture.
