I have a 7X14 duel axle trailer, I ordered it with rear drop down jacks, for the conversion I ordered two sissor jacks, for the front. When the conversion was close to being finished, DW and I had a trial run, did not have the time to get the sissor jacks welded on, so I put them in the back of the truck, expecting to just put the under the front. When we got all set up, and walking around in the trailer, there was no noticeable movement in the trailer, so I did not put the rear jacks down, nor did I put the front sissor jacks down. There was no problem. The trailer has a arear queen bed, and a front 24" cabnet and tolit room. We have made several camping trips, in camp grounds and in open fields, as DW are reenactors. The sissor jacks are still in the back of the truck, and I have not used the rear jacks at all. I guess, the need for jacks, may be determined by the size of the trailer and the conversion.
