I use four scissors jacks and lift the trailer so there is no weight on the axles, tires or front jack. I’ve done this for years and figure it as lows down potential thieves too!

Do you have any pictures of your set-up?

I have thought about 4 or 5 of these, two behind tires, two in front of tires and one at the bow (though it may drag at ramp or driveway). Way overkill on being within weight capacity, height is what I would be after to ensure a good amount of slope for drainage and get the tires off the ground. Plus, agreed, anything to slowdown thieves and get them on camera.
