Sway bar problems

Thanks for all the feedback. The block ramp was my second option. We have ample room to add/remove the bars. My concern is getting the TT down the driveway without dragging the tongue or rear of the TT before I get onto the street.

You have much bigger problems if you end up dragging tongue and/or rear without WD in your own driveway.

Yes, the rear of your vehicle is going to sag more than normal, but unless you have a steep elevation change generally should be fine..

As for as the rear of the trailer dragging goes, without WD the rear of the trailer should actually be a bit higher so it should have less chance of dragging.

If you do drag either way, you should still be OK, often the tongue jack will often drag sometimes with big elevation changes. As long as it isn't severe drag to high center it generally will not harm it.

As far as back dragging, is pretty normal for longer trailers to do this and often just can't be helped.. Often trailer manufacturers will add a drag bar at the rear of the trailer frame to protect things like black tank.

Try it without WD first to get hooked up, then move it to a safe spot that is flatter and then add WD..

I would not recommend attempting to put vehicle tires up on blocks or ramps. That is just asking for trouble, you need all four wheels of your vehicle firmly planted on Terra Firma for safety reasons.. Would get ugly real fast if the blocks or ramps moved or your vehicle loses traction while up on blocking or ramps..
