It has not changed mine in 2 years. Unless you crash your tow vehicle there is hardly any force or them.

Yeah if you use the stock tow hole locations you'll be fine. Cross the front straps (L->R,R->L). I use r-hooks as well.

Here is my trailer and strap setup for 2018 season. What you guys think about hitch height clearance, leveling and etc?

Here is a simple hack to measure tongue weight. If you want 500lbs of tongue weight... measure from the ground to a spot on the truck like the trailer hitch. Then have 500lbs of people stand in the truck bed right above the hitch. Measure how much the truck dropped from that. Then move your car around on the trailer until you get the same measurement and mark where you had the car on the trailer.
