Following H. John Kohl's lead, I installed simple scissor jacks in front of the wheels. I raise the nose with the landing gear to about four degrees (I have a Hoppy level mounted over the controls to see this), then wind down the scissor jacks, then lower the nose to 1/2 degree (to let rain run back off the main slide). Then I run the rear stabilizers down. The weight is now on the scissor jacks and off the springs. Very solid.
