hi pappy that's interesting....

glad it works for ya...

http://www.hensleymfg.com/hitchelper.htm

i have the hitch helper too...

used it once. no more. would you like another one? any takers?

i understand your comment about getting low enough in some spots....

for my set up i've never needed lower than with the jack fully retracted on the standard stand....

much lower than that and the springbars are on the ground anyway...

for me the sidewiding helper....well wasnt' stable enough...

it is only rated to 2500lbs...

so IF you use your jack to lift the truck rear axle AND trailer tongue, before tightening the spring bars...

it would be easy to exceed 2500lbs...mine started 'bulging' a little ...

also it continued to 'screw' sideways...meaning the trailer moved....

after fully set up...i did not like that!

so anyone else use the hitch helper with their hahas?

i'll make ya a deal on a lightly used one!

cheers
