    Bull racks dont have landimg gear that cranks like most other trailers, they have feet that you put down and pin in place. As you pull out from under the trailer drops until the feet make contact with the ground... Even with bags let down you will often pick the trailer up a few inches when you back under.

    Actually I'm using a glove and grease it with my hand, then I dispose the glove. I like ithe result, the entire fifth wheel is greased evenly.

    That's exactly what I do. About every 3rd or 4th weekend I add some new grease. Works great.

    Drop air bags slide underneath, connect, and raise airbags. Don’t loose your grease.
