Tongue Extension - Deployment was [Rhodes22-list] Trailer Jac ks

[Michael Meltzer]

It the best bet, line up for the ramp, pull up, rehitch and then go straight
back.
The problem is that bar is "floppy" at best. the more time you use it more
of a chance of putting a real bend in it, then it will need replacement. As
in it will work for a while then one day screaming at your self when a
pothole grabs the while you are turning. It real fun when you get it back in
and need a torch to get it back out(the bend trapped it)
