I would lift up the back of the truck even higher if you are having trouble hooking up the chains. Yes, it is normal for the bars to bend like that providing the bars are the correct weight for the tongue weight of the trailer. You can verify if you are tightening the chains enough by going to a scale. Weigh the truck before hitching up the trailer, then weigh after hitching up. The front axle weight should be close to the same both times. If it is a lot higher the 2nd time, reduce the chain by a link and re-weigh. If lower, tighten up another link. You can also adjust by using the head tilt function.
One more comment. I would turn the safety chain hook around and insert it into the hitch bracket hole from underneath. This will result with the hook opening facing the trailer. Much less chance of it bouncing out that way.
Congratulations on a great score on the hitch. That is a fantastic price and you are really going to enjoy the towing experience!
