I think I know what the problem is. The bars are to light. The sticker tongue weight is 815lb, add propane tanks, batteries and all the other stuff in the camper, and the true tongue weight is probably at or over 1000 lbs.
My tongue weight sticker is 790lbs, and I figured I would be right at 1000lbs, and read if you were borderline to bump up to the next size. As others have mentioned, those bars have alot of bend to them to get the camper level.
I'd get an actual tongue weight, and then check with Blue Ox to see if you need the heavier bars.
As much as those bars are torqued you will have to go way up with the jack to get the tension off of them.
That may be exactly what the problem is here. I will pass this onto my Blue Ox rep.
