How much pressure/torque on "stabilization" jacks?

On manual stabilization jacks on a travel trailer how much pressure do you feel is right without over doing it? My feeling is it's nice to have "bounce" out of frame but I don't want to break/bend ...

Get a drill that has a clutch for torque settings. I have a craftsman C3 drill that has one so I can set the torque to the same setting every time. Once you know what setting works best for you, it's a no-brainer operation. Just zip them down until the clutch clicks.
