''Regular'' trailers get stabilizers because the weight of the trailer  
affects a truck`s handling by pushing the hitch ball from side to side &  
since a regular hitch is at the rearmost of the truck, the rear axle  
becomes a fulcrum point that will transfer the side to side forces to the  
front axle.  
 
Your trailer might need an alignment if it is a tandem axle trailer (yes,  
they do get aligned), or even before that make sure the tire pressures in  
each tire are exactly correct, & after that make sure you are loaded  
correctly (mostly over the trailers axles).
