I do recommend using two pairs of the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001070 for your triple axle trailer. Doing so is going to give you the best amount of stability to limit the front-to-back rocking motion that will occur when you are parked. These stabilizers are designed to work with wheels that are 1-1/2" to 5-1/4" apart; I've added a link to video reviews of this product for you to take a look at as well.
