You may need to use a block of wood under the jack foot or get a jack that has more height. I'm able to jack my truck up to the point where the tires are almost off of the ground. At that point, I can put the correct link in the slot and turn the latch by hand to lock it. You may also want to double check that your ball isn't set too low.
The bars are doing what they are designed to do, flex. The bars are made out of spring steel. They are designed to flex quite a bit and return to their original shape when unloaded. This flexing is part of the sway control. It is possible to permanently distort the bars, but that normally happens when the bars have been overloaded.
