Good added point PackerBacker,
I forgot to mention that about the sway bar. Friction bars cannot be jack knifed because it can cause damage. Moderate backing w/o turning sharp is not an issue but tight turning while backing can be. The slide bar can 'pop out' if over extended. Also, make sure the sway handle is in a level position, NOT facing directly up or down.
Whenever I drive into a CG or tight place, I just unsnap the sway bar. Sometimes I remove the WD bars as well , however my truck does not drop in the rear that much, so that's not a problem for me.
