They are only to be used for that - stabilization and not leveling. I ruined my first pair putting them under too much pressure.
My new pair have lasted 2 seasons, i keep them lubed up with WD40 and have patience each time i take them up or put them down.
I evnvy those people in the huge monster giganic motor homes where the stabilizers just pop down automatically, wouldnt that be nice, just push a button..... HA
Scissor jacks are easy to install. Drill pilot holes in cross tube and use self tapping bolts. Use cordless drill to raise and lower them after install. RV stores sell the “socket” adaptor for your drill to fit raising bolt on jacks. Use blocks on the ground to limit over extending them. Set-up is a snap. Do not over think the issue. Been using mine on 19’ for over 100 nights.

I replaced the stock jacks on my 19 in half an hour.
Self tapping hex heads and an impact driver.
Can believe I put up with the others!
