Wiggle Wiggle?

Trying to get some more shaking out of my WH 23MRB. I have X chocks, Bal stabilizers bars, and step jacks. Any other recommendations?
Thanks

Can't see from your pictures but one thing that helps is having the jack legs as short as possible. You can build up wood ( 2x6 or 2x8 ) stacks and shorten the extension of the jack legs to increase stability.

Andersen makes heavy duty bucket style supports.
Several make lego style plastic supports that are nice because they are adjustable to the height you need.

After a day or two when you are not of concrete you will have to adjust your legs to allow for sink even in gravel. Your unit will settle a little. it may need a touch up every once in a while.

I've done what you did but I added 2 crank down stabilizers from Harbor Freight and bolted them to the frame amidship and that helped a lot. I don't think your ever gonna get rid of all the movement unless you let the air out of the tires Lol.

I bought 4 of these and they work GREAT.. well about 90% of the instability is gone. I put 2 at the rear of the TT about 3' in from the end of the frame and 2 in front of the wheels about half way between the tongue jack and the wheels. I have them on top of 4 cement block.
I also extended them so that they raise the TT enough to eliminate the bounce caused by the tires. I usually have to adjust them once every few weeks due to rain/settling.

I also have electric stabilizers and I have them extended so that the main vertical supports are near the ends of the threaded rods, which puts most of the pressure away from the middle of the TT and towards the ends. That also helps a lot.

The slide being extended will always cause some bounce as it is like a leverage point.

Good luck, keep us informed

What I do is when I’m setting up is to use the X-chocks and snug down the stabilizers after unhooking. Then we finish our setup routine, and when we’re done I go sound and tighten everything again. It’s surprising how loose the X-chocks get when the tires cool down. When everything is tightened again, there’s a lot less wiggle.
