Broken Snap-Up Bracket
As I was unhooking today I broke the pipe hook (don't know the exact name of this piece on the bracket) off. Has this happened to anyone else. Kind of shocked that this occurred. Anyone know...

Do you mean lift the truck before you put tension on the bars? Yes. I lift my truck waaay up to put tension on the bars or when I release them. Makes it easy with very little snap when removing.
Yes I mean lifting the truck, I don't think I'm doing too much of it currently.
Do you mean lifting the truck up to take tension OFF the bars, thus making it easier to engage and disengage the snap-up bracket?
The Reese instruction manual specifies lifting the hitch 6 to 8 inches using the tongue jack before connecting or releasing the chains.
If you have to go much higher than 8 inches you may be putting too much tension on your bars.
