Installed a set of scissor jacks just ahead off the wheels. Helped but not a complete cure! Not sure the electric jacks stabilize as well as they should, my old trailer had scissor jacks on the corners with less bounce.

I used the cheap stuff...
4-pak of Stack Jacks, from Walmart, RV supply store, etc.
It is a little more work, but anytime we plan on staying for three or more days, I crawl under, and put these under the four outer corners on the FRAME (not on axles, or other suspension parts). These really firm up the trailer, so there is no rocking and a rolling!

My dealer gave me a tip, take it for what it's worth, haven't tried it myself.
With electric jacks, level left and right as usual, but for fore and aft, get it nice and level, then raise the tongue a bit, assuming trial and error will result in how much. Lower the electric jacks till they finish adjusting, then lower the tongue again till level.
Again, those with more experience please call my dealer crazy and advise others not to do it if you think it will cause damage. Just thought i'd share what my dealer told me was a way around the scissor/ electric jack stabilization difference.
Myself? I just bought x-chocks off amazon, hope they help.

Just a plug for Steadyfast. They are the only struts I've ever had so i can't make a comparison. But they really do a good job. All 3 struts mount to the frame, not cross-members. I have a old crappy very flexible tin and stick 31' Keystone and they really took out a lot of the rocking.

I have used slide out stabilizers which seems to help.

I've heard both good and bad with slide out stabilizers. I guess if you are parked on fairly solid ground such as concrete or packed gravel they might be okay. All the bad I heard was when the trailer dipped but the slides didn't!

Not sure why your trailer would dip once you are all set up and chalked, but yes that would not be good.

Hydraulic Jack System
With all this discussion about how to eliminate trailer movement, has anyone discussed with ORV a hydraulic jack system post modification? My DW complains about my heavy feet.
