Issues adding Strong Arm jacks to Sandpiper

I want to eliminate the shaking in my Sandpiper when I walk around. However, I seem to have hit an issue. I removed the crank up spare tire holder and noticed that the closest beam for the side to side support is at least 2 foot back. So basically, the front legs are attached to the ends of an H.

The only thing that is available to add the strong arms to is the 1.5 inch square metal tubing that support the thin metal floor of the garage. That seems very inadequate.

Has anyone encountered this? and how did you solve it

This is went with the Steadyfast Stabilizers on our 360PDEK. Easier to install and use. The cross bars attach on the opposite side of the fiver.
