I'm under the assumption that these sorts of stabilizers are not meant to carry much of the actual trailer weight. I would be concerned with bending or twisting the frame if too much weight was put on the 4 corners.
Note that I have nothing to base this fear on other than surfing internet forums.......

Then I extend the tongue jack as much as I can, which raises the front, and lower the front stabalizers. Then retract the tongue jack so the swing hitch can be moved. The tires are still on the ground, but at least some of the TM weight has been transferred to the stabalizers without having to really 'power' them down. My garage is a very tight fit so I have a hard time getting one of the stabalizers down, but it can be done!
