Blue Ox Sway Pro Setup question UPDATE
I have a B.O Sway Pro 1500, Prime Time Lacrosse 324RST TT and Ram 2500 CTD. When hooked up, TT and TV are level. Hitch/Bars setup on 10th link. Tongue Weight is 1480 with two 30lb propane tanks, TT...

Hooked everything up yesterday, and took pictures of setup and sent to Blue Ox. Got a call back today. Technician told me everything on my setup looked perfect, and based on that information, the only solution to try is to put some additional wood or lego blocks under the jack to be able to raise the hitch higher for hook-up.
That's really not an option for me, as my wheels are just barely touching when I jack it up now.
I did change from 10 links back to 9 during this process. I remeasured the height of the front wheel well unloaded (41") and with WD hitch at 10 links. 10 Links the height was 40.5 inches, so it added more weight to front than unloaded. 9 links and height was 40 15/16 inches.
9 links is easier than the 10 was, but still a good deal of tension (Mike's opinion). I asked again about going to 2K bars and he said he would recommend against it. Going to 2K bars with TW less than 1500 (even by a little) would make the ride rougher. He said bars looked great and the tension on them fully loaded looked perfect.
So, I'll accept that answer and not worry about it. I know how much tension is there, and am very comfortable dealing with it.. just have to know my wife cannot hook it up herself.
