    I'm at the Truck World in Conneaut OH, waiting for them to cook some chicken tenders.

    At this point might be best practice to take a ten now, then move under cover of darkness to the receiver, where I can take another ten, thus having a full set of hours for tomorrow's delivery.

    A row across the top area of the bumper would kind of highlight the dark front there, Just saying.

    8" x 8" x 8' oak beams, cut 4 of them in half to cross stack and hold. 20K hydraulic jack, some time to pump and crib. Or call a hook?

    Your right but i would add 4 sacks of concrete to stack the wood beams on due to the wet ground - 6in from the bags of cement + 16 inches from the 8 inch beams and two 20k bottle jacks will get another 24 inches. 46-inch lift be right as tain to get someone in to fix it.

    I have a habit of putting dunnage or whatever planks I find around under when I drop a loaded trailer on asphalt or dirt.
