Do see a new potential down side and is with extreme angles while
parking/maneuvering/etc. That limited number of chain links not
captured, which is a good thing while towing, becomes a potential
limiting factor...will the bars bend even more? Will the 'U' bolt
allow the chain to move more? Will the chain attachment allow the
chain to unwrap in the 'right' direction, therefore allow more movement
while turning 'tight'? This is the good and bad...it is part of
how they control sway while traveling, but that becomes an issue
while parking...I think...for now...anyone have one of these?

Ben,
Good points, all. I am using the BlueOx and I too was concerned about tight maneuvers. I sent an email to them asking if I should disconnect the bars before, for instance, backing into a tight spot. They replied that was not necessary, so I never do. When I back into the spot where I park it here at home, it's as tight a turn as I can do ( the corner of the trailer is close to hitting the corner of the truck ), and there does not seem to be any harm done to or with the hitch.
