I've looked at the pictures at least a dozen times and think I have 
discovered the problem. The hitch is rated for 4,000 lbs and the jack that 
Rick used was 2 1/4 ton! Plain as day right there in

realize that the jack is rated 500 lbs more than the hitch it all falls 
into place--or out of place as this case may be!
