Feet on landing gear
We have the rectangular feet on our landing gear. Does switching to the round 9” feet make a difference? (More stable)

I replaced my landing gear pads with ones that were larger and heavier duty, however still rectangular. They didn't add to the trailer's stability. What did help was putting the landing gear on 7 1/2" high blocks. These shortened the landing gear legs and took some shake out of the trailer.
Like wood blocks or some type of commercially made block? Thanks!
I used a 10 ft piece of pressure treated 2X6 for each side. I cut them into 11" lengths then nailed them together in a crosshatch pattern. That gave me a block 11" square and 7 1/2" high. I also screwed plastic strips on the tops to create a well for the landing gear so they won't slip off. The most important part, I screwed on plastic handles on the sides. Don't think I would want to own them without the handles.
If you want, PM me with an e-mail and I will forward a picture.
