The rule I used when I was trailering.
I used wood 2x tire width (Still do) to get to within .75 inches of level (NOTE 2" lumber is 1.5" thick) then I used the jacks for the last little bit.. MOST trailers this should work.
If you want to take a bit of stress off. You could also carry a 1x tire width That gets you to 3/8's of an inch (actually both 3/4 and 3/8 of an inch are close enough to say "Forget it".

The less you have to extend the stabilizers the more stable they will be.

From Skyline manual:
"5. Lower stabilizer jacks, placing wood block under foot as necessary, until they make firm con- tact with ground โ Do Not Overtighten or try to lift trailer except for small amount needed to level."

I'll get a set of levelling blocks. I wanted to make sure I don't spend and carry things I don't need. Those are cheap and seem much easier than bringing a collection of wood planks and trying to stack them as a ramp to drive onto.
Thanks

Look up the specs on your scissor jacks. Some are rated at a certified 6500 lb load capacity. Some have feet that stabilize only and carry no load. I use all four of my scissor jacks to level a inch or two without any problems.
