Vintage stabilizers?

I just bought a '62 Safari. My '73 Tradewind had stabilizing jacks built in. This trailer not only doesn't have that, it's unclear to me where I would even put a jack without damaging the underbelly.

Please help (photos would be good).

Most people put them toward the rear on the bottom of the frame rail.

This is too cool! Just found this image of JFK stepping out of a '62 Safari (my trailer) AND it confirmed visually what I had basically figure out with the jacks.

Love this image!
