Weight Distribution bar - using a pipe ... ?
We have lost the pipe to lift up the weight distribution bar ... what do you use ?

It also depends on the head tilt. The more washers the further the chains are from the snap hook. I ran 6 washers in my WDH and had to lift the rear of the truck 4-5" before the last link on the chain would hook the bracket, then needed the bar to finish. If I were using a 3/4-1 ton truck and had a light TW then I suppose I could just lift the coupler up with the tongue jack and latch by hand. But lifting 900+lbs coupled to a soft sprung F150, it took a lot to get proper weight transfer.
Anyone that's hitching up and not using the tongue jack and is able to latch up without the bar is not doing it right. Those are the guys you see that have their truck sagging and the TT's front way too low and the rear high. No tension on the bars.
