I want to thank everyone for all of your suggestions. I think I've solved my problem. I bought a dirt bike stand from Harbor Freight for about $30. It's made of steel, only weighs about 10 pounds, and is rated for 1000 lb. load. It's 16" high. I made a leveling pad out of some 1x6 with some 1/2" plywood screwed to it. The stand with the pad under the down slope bottom rail is perfectly level in my driveway. I was able to get my trailer perfectly level, fore and aft, with this stand and two 2x6s stacked on top of the stand. The tongue jack is only half extended now. Everything seems a lot more stable without so many 2x6 blocks stacked under the tongue jack. I still have a lot of 2x6s stacked under my front stab jacks, but I'll remove those when the 6 ton jack stands arrive from Amazon in a couple of days.
Once again, thanks for all the suggestions.
