Stabilizers are NEVER meant to be used for leveling.....or supporting the entire weight of a trailer, front or rear....they are just to "stabilize" the trailer while it is in a previously leveled position. Using them to hold up the trailer, either end, is a very good way to destroy them.

I was only able to get 3 blocks, so 4.5" under my tongue jack after I backed into my driveway so I used axle stands to temporarily prop up the tongue and I was able to get 3 more so it took 9" inches of blocks to get it level. I wish my driveway was more RV friendly but it is what it is. I also wanted it perfectly level so I could configure my LevelMate Pro.

Looking at your floor plan your slides are almost identical to mine. My slide with the fridge, stove and tv are the Schwintek. That slide is always smooth. My slide with the seating and dinette are not the Schwintek and it does the popping, creaking and jerking just like my knees do. Is that the same situation that you have? I have not tried running the seating slide out when not level. How far off level are you to get it to not jump around? Or are you slides just the opposite of mine?

All of my slides are Schwintec. The one that does the herky jerky is the living room slide. It seems that when it is only a little out of level it's good. More out of level it's the same as when we autolevel - bad. Our campsite this past week was pretty unlevel - slide was jerking a lot. Once home, before leveling, it was good again. And thank you!
