If this trailer is rockin...
We have a 2500RL TT and it has 4 manual stabilizers at the 4 corners I lower with a drill. I don't level with them, just crank down until they firmly contact the ground (or block). With just the 4 stabilizers, it was nearly as bouncy as a kids blow up fun house so I bought the "X" chocks with high hopes they would help. But we still have a lot of bounce and wobble even with the X chocks. I'm wondering about adding a 5th and 6th manual stabilizer jack on both sides, mid trailer. Has anyone done that? We are only 29' 11" but really tired of the "rocking boat" as we walk around the camper... Although the rocking can be fun at other times...! ;-)
Also wondered about tire pressure and what role that plays... I'm running at 50psi.

With those jacks the best thing you can do is build some blocks out of treated lumber to use under the jacks. I used 2x8 about a foot long then screw 4 of them together. If it is an area that needs even more I will put the stackable orange plastic blocks on top of the wooden blocks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The idea is to keep the jacks from extending very far. The further they extend the greater the pivot action and the more unstable they become. If they are dropped only a few inches from the stowed/travel position they will be a lot more stable and so will your camper. Then use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 under the rear and front cross frames. Also don't forget to put some weight on your tongue jack. Your camper should be a lot more stable then. You won't get rid of all of the rock but you can really eliminate a lot of it. Let me know if you need a picture off the blocks under the camper and I will go set it up and take a picture. I also use the X-chocks on each side, not sure if they really help but it doesn't hurt.
As far as tire pressure, if they are the original tires run what the sticker says to inflate them to.
