Can I remove the U Bolts without having to put the vehicle on stands or jack?

I need to measure to purchase new ones.

oh and it is ****** and probably extends my shock fully as well. as for you link that is a good idea for height but you will not solve the weight distribution over the trailer axle or vehicle. i would work on leveling or lifting the vehicle first. and if you just stay pintle you could maybe get by with just a one a bit high if the tilting of trailer bothers you.

What size Roof Rack is that?

Absolutely do not separate ubolts from springs or axles unless frame and axles is supported separately. and one you do so do not try to reinstall. wait until you get new ones one before driving again.

i use these cargo carriers. the roof has an extension on it and the hitch one has a bag in it. not sure why amazon does not carry the roof extension or hitch one from that specific maker any more but can get elsewhere. also for some idotic reason the extension does not come with extra cap bolts needed for install. i found same cap bolts at home depot tho.

this was done for the need was in a hurry. they will eventually be changed to others like http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Rola/59110.html or something from http://www.etrailer.com/maindept-Cargo.aspx.
