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 ...

If you do not get as much tension on the bars as you need just tilt the hitch head rearward some more before you begin. That probably would have solved Soundguys problem and allowed him to use the Straptek system.

By the way, in most cases the trunnion style bars are not supposed to be parallel with the trailers A frame. They are designed to point downwards a bit when properly tensioned.
The round bars should be parallel due to the way they are designed.
