I saw your post in the other thread and started to respond then stopped.
There are a lot of variations of the Bambi. Manual Jack? Power jack? If manual, the crank must face forward. If power, you can't turn it sideways to clear the tailgate.
Also will it clear the propane tank cover?

My main concern, and maybe it's because I tend to overthink things, but with the weight behind the mount, and only two supports, it better be really solid to avoid a stress fracture from rocking back and forth due to the weight above the fulcrum so high.

So I give it a qualified...Maybe.

IMHO, dont do it

too much tongue weight could be added and through off driving stability

I wouldn't add any more weight to the 22FB tongue on a bet. Stay with the OEM weight listing. Bikes can add a lot.
