Stability and stabilizers, pads, etc.

Like everyone else I’m usually parked on hard packed gravel. Concrete pads are rare. Sometimes I’m pretty stable. Other times it feels like I haven’t put down a stabilizer at all. I’ve tried various amounts of wood stacks, rubber pads and no pads. No matter what it’s still hit or miss.
I’m pretty high in the nose here so I put down a two stack and a three stack of 2x12’s before disconnecting then I used my rubber pads on the rear stabilizers. It feels like a bounce house inside. My feeble little mind assumes the shorter the legs extend the better but is that wrong? Do these 5° legs have to extend further for more stability? Would a king pin tripod help enough to justify the cost?
Here’s the setup;
2019 DRV 39DBRS3, right at 20k, six leg autolevel, no wheel chocks
