As you are raising your tongue jack if the tension bars have any type of curve to them then I would personally say you are still for sure in the major scary zone to undo them.
That's the beauty of this system, you don't need to crank the trailer jack up and down for hooking up or unhooking.

Like BirchyBoy this system scares the bejeesus out of me too. Plus all that cranking up and down. I'm 67 and not at all sure how many more years I want to be dealing with this hitch.
The StrapTek looks very interesting.
Im not familiar with your hitch system, but it sure makes the B.O. much easier.

Here’s the beauty of Straptek. Any compatible hitch, be it trunnion or round bar, can be the best sway control hitch you’ve ever owned. The hitch distributes the weight Straptek will control the sway.
