When we are parked for extended periods of time, I use four screw type jacks (two on the frame in front of the axles and two on the frame in the rear of the axles). I just snug them up to the frame, not enough to lift anything more than a fraction of an inch. The purpose of the jacks is to eliminate the bounce from the axle suspension system by isolating it. In addition we use chocks between the tires. I would guess this eliminates about 80-90% of the "bounce". I would think that just having the jacks in front of the axles would not "isolate" the suspension system, which I believe is the primary contributor to the bouncing.
