I also think that when you put a jack under each corner there's a tendency to jack the trailer up using them and risk twisting the frame. The trick is to keep most of the weight supported by the wheels and axle. The stabilization is just snug enough to keep the trailer from bouncing. Therefore the tongue jack is plenty.

I may not have ever changed my original kickstand stabilizers except that one of them fell apart on the highway. I found it inconvenient to deploy the kickstands without laying on the ground, so when I found the system pictured above, I decided that the crank handle fit my needs much better.
Also, when Scamp started using that vertical tongue jack which was short enough, I really liked the idea and the fact that it could be modified to accept the same crank and
Battery drill as the the rear stabilizers.
The Bal Stabilizers which I used provide an extra crossmember on the frame as well, and are placed well enough that I could change a tire if I chose. As for tendencies... well that's conjecture.
I do think that the stock offering is adequate though.
