I have a 2006 Yukon Denali XL (the long-wheelbase one) and a Jayco X23E, hitched up using a Blue Ox Swaypro.
I need to raise the tongue uncomfortably high using the tongue jack to attach or detach the spring bars.
Has anyone found a clever solution to this?
I'm not sure if this would work with a Blue Ox Sway Pro but the
Lippert Straptek system eliminates the need with most chain WD systems to lift the tongue at all ... just engage the straps and crank up the straps until the spring bars are set the way you want them. I tried a set myself but the design, with my particular setup, wouldn't allow me to get the spring bars sitting parallel with the trailer frame because when cranked up as high as it will go the strap hook still hung much lower than my Reese WD chain hook, as can be seen in demo pic.
Rebuilding the head would likely have solved this problem but I thought it more trouble than it was worth and didn't pursue this project any further.
