FWIW - I just loosen the chain bars, and pull the receiver pin and drive ahead. Everything stays put. Camping or at home, that's how I roll...
**EDIT** - I pushed the shank all the way into the Ford Factory receiver hitch, marked it, and had a machine shop drill a second hole. So I can just back up until it gently bottoms, throw the truck in park, inset the 1 pin, tension the bars, plug in electrical, hook up chains, and off I go. Same as the $3000 Hensley, form a convenience perspective. Performance of the Hensley will overall be superior. but buying it to save hookup time is a nebulous endeavor IMO.
