X-chock vs. Jack Stabilizers
I want to stop the rocking around on my 30ft Cougar and the two products I can find to help eliminate that are X-chocks and jacks stabilizer cross bars. I know both help, but which one helps the most?...

several have mentioned jack stands at the corners and that is exactly where YOU DON'T WANT THEM. You need to get them close enough to the axles to get weight off the suspension and tires and reduce the unsupported frame lengths where frame flex is minimized. This is a balancing act that is dependent on each trailer, it's floorplan, and how it's loaded so this is where the experimenting takes place, but I contend there is an optimum placement that will give you a stability that can't be matched or even come close to with all the chocks and extra stabilizer bars you can install on your current system.

I agree with you... I support my trailer just behind and just in front of my axles. I do need some support at the back corners because of the length of the lightweight frame behind the axles. I just prefer to have mine attached all the time to the trailer, and you prefer to have yours portable and stored inside.... to each their own LOL
