Hooking up, lock onto the ball, lift as high as it will go, install bars and then lower the tongue.

That's exactly the process I followed. Now unhooked, hitch is in the truck upside down for access to the bolts for lube. Put bars in and can just barely move them. Doesn't seem quite right. I know that friction is an integral part of the design but this seems extreme.
