Look at my hitch set up please....

I just want to be able to hitch up without having to jack my truck so high up (almost off the ground) just to take enough tension off the chains to attach and detach them. I also don't want to scrape and gouge things on the ground from the spring bars hitting because they sit so low. So I think either of these things need to happen at this point. A. the coupler has to be ground off and re welded on top of the frame or B. they give me a new hitch system with trunnion bars.

If it really is an option and they can find the proper personnel with the skills and certifications needed, I'd go with the grind off and install a new coupler on top of the frame.

I don't think trunnion bars will do much to address the drop on your draw bar. They may help some but I have my doubts they will fully resolve your problem. Of course it would be fairly easy to try the trunnion bars first and see what happens.

You know, you can't be the first person to run into this. You might want to post on www.jaycoowners.com/forums/ and see if anyone has any previous experience with this particular trailer and hitch.
