Expert Reply:
When using the bolt brackets # C17005 you will have to use the trailer jack to lift both the trailer and the tow vehicle to be able to put the spring bar on or take them off. Since the bolt-on brackets do not have lift assembly like the normal brackets, this is the only way to install/remove the spring bars.
