Expert Reply:
In a nutshell, you'll want the RAM # TJ01RT stabilizer jack pointed in the direction where you need the stability. If you're needing fore and aft support, then have the stabilizer jack angled toward the front or rear of the trailer. For side to side support, you'll want the jack pointed to one side or the other. The jacks can be bolted or welded into place.
