Purchased Custom m100 trailer need help!

First off thanks to everyone on this forum. I have squandered sooo much inspiration from all you creative folks!

I purchased a fully built overland trailer but it has a couple quarks I am struggling to get rid of. The main one is the front trailer jack. The previous owner welded a jack straight to the articulating lunette. It wobbles at night and not properly leveled ground can articulate the lunette. It’s sketchy!
Any help on alternative jack locations or alternative hitch options would be appreciated.

That large front diamond plate box limits what you can do up front which is probably why the previous owner welded the jack to the lunette, if you removed the propane and fuel tanks from each side you could weld on removable leveling jacks to each side, or put a smaller tongue box on up front to give you room for a single jack that could mount to the front frame, it looks like your landing leg is still there, so you maybe able to use that with leveling blocks, I use 2x8 cribbing to level and or support my landing leg, then use 2 jacks on each side in the rear. I still use my lunette on my M416, clunky but it works great. Post some additional photos when you modify it.
