I have a stick with a mark at the 25" mark that I use to measure how high to raise the hitch. That relieves some of the tension on the bars when I rotate the brackets. It's not a hard crank and sometimes its actually easy to rotate into position. When it comes time to unload the bars I'm usually pretty careful to get a good grip on the breaker bar just in case there's more tension on the bar than I expected. Usually they unload pretty easily though. I just have to make sure I've raised the hitch to the 25" mark on the stick.
BTW, I have the 1500 pound bars for my 1150 pound hitch weight.
