Need to jack up the rear REALLY high to attach spring bars

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 ...

Yep there are some of us that have this issue with the ox.
I just dread those swivel latches and straining my 3500lb capacity tongue jack.
Wish i would have stayed with Equilizer.

Soundguy,
The Strapteks look promising and they look to be compatible with B.O. as their chains hang 3-4" between latch and bars.
I wish it was an OEM design.
What was it like unhooking the ratchet mechanism?
