Would more room make loading easier or harder?

I solved the dually clearance problem by installing a piece of 2 X 2 X14" long square tubing between the brackets and jack on each side. Quick and strong. Just removed the bolts drilled holes in tubing to match the bracket and got longer bolts to replace the originals. To be safe, and because they were readily available,I used some class 8 bolts vs the originals.
