stabilizing jacks on a 2022 Compass23TW

First trip out and trying to level and support driver's side to offset the large weight of a 3 ft cantilevered slide. Much to my surprise, there are no front jacks which I think will make it virtually impossible to maintain any sense of side-to-side levelness. They left off my rear ladder because of supply shortages. I am wondering if they left off the front stabilizers for the same reason? Does anybody know if Compasses have historically come with stabilizers at all 4 corners?
Thank you and Thank Bill Johnson for assisting in trying to figure out how to navigate this site.

Unfortunately you're stuck with level blocks under tires. The rear stabilizers are mounted as one unit, with a scissor jack at each end. That assembly would likely interfere with exhaust or drive train components if mounted across the front frame rails. And... they are intended for stabilizing, not leveling. You can cheat a little, but you better be close to level at that point.

One season of that was enough for me. I bit the bullet and invested $3k in hydraulic levelers.
