Thanks John--
I started another post on my NEW hitch set up. Thought I would get more responses seeing as this thread was already several weeks old and most people tend to view/respond to threads that are near the top of the list. Thank you for sticking with this thread!!
NOTE: I have been using my electric tongue jack to raise/lower the trailer and swing bars onto L brackets. I a y have to add 1-2 additional wood blocks under jack foot to raise it high enough to install bars on L brackets....as it's close to toping out now
OK, you have the right jacking concept. I carry a 6" wood block to put under the electric jack foot to gain enough height. On 1,700# WD bars there is no safe way to pull them up without jacking the camper and truck coupled up sky high. Then I can put the bars on by hand. Let the jack down and all the weight loads up.
I'll go look for your other post
