I used to use just a piece of pipe to life the "weight distribution bars" up to snap into place in the bracket on the trailer tongue. That was before I learned how to do it correctly and let the tongue jack lift the tongue and the rear of the truck so I could just flip up the bracket by hand and put the pin in, then let the trailer down by the tongue jack. Never used anything with the friction sway bar. It just set into place on the little small balls, one on the hitch and one on the trailer tongue. The sway bar had no tension on it until after it was in place. Just try a piece of pipe.
