Sway bar problems

I guess I could have explained what I was thinking of doing a little better. The block is a Trailer Jack Block. It is used to lift the tongue up high enough to go above the ball. I was thinking of using those orange, Lynx Leveler, blocks that you hook together to level one side when one side is lower. I still plan on attaching/removing the bars when I get the TT to level ground.

Your signature says you have a F150 and a 20-30ft+ ft trailer (I didn't bother to look up the model).

To put this into perspective, your truck is at least 7k lbs your trailer may be what 6K lbs?

Combined you are 13K lbs, on a hill playing with a lot of weight that wishes to kill everything in it's path..

When things goes sideways it isn't going to be pretty.

Those plastic lego style blocks are like putting ball bearings under your wheels.. Even though it is your front wheels of your vehicle I really feel it would not be the safest to do.. Having all four tires firmly on the ground is the safest way..

As long as you are attaching the bars on safer level ground, there is no need to lift the front of the truck.

Now, if the problem is the trailer tongue is not high enough to get onto the hitch then you might need to place blocking under the TRAILER tires, not the tow vehicles front tires.. In this case, you can place the lego blocks under the trailer when you park it but you will need possibly add some more height to the trailer tongue and make sure to chock your trailer tires (always a good idea to chock the trailer wheels).. In this case I would build up the parking area height where you park your trailer if possible so you do not need as much trailer tongue blocking..
