Humph. The stay bars the guys are showing you will prevent the bar you are using now from raising un-intentionally... which is needed when pulling a trailer for sure. But I believe you are using a like? - 2 inch ball? This still isn't safe when the ball to curl under that perforated bar. You will still have a trailer tongue in you back.
