It looks to me like your entire problem is caused by the strap system.
On a regular ProPride, the bars that connect the spring ends to the jacks completely fix the hitch head from rotating downward. They hold the hitch head rigidly so when the stinger is backed into position, the head cannot move.
Have you asked Sean how this strap system is supposed to work? It looks like a fail to me.
The straps are indeed the problem here, just like chains create the very same problem. Using solid struts (EDIT, correctly called Jacks), they can force the angle of the hitch head up or down. Soft connections will not allow this.
That's why Hensley offers a support bar for their chain systems and I think the OP desperately needs something like this from Propride. Heck, the chain and strap set ups should not be sold without one! It's a must have if you cannot use or opt not to use the standard struts.
