Yours had a SHARP bend on it, which definitely needed to be fixed. However, I just wanted to let others know that on most heavy duty trailers, there will be a very slight upwards and downwards bow on longer trailers to account for heavy items, so don't freak out if you notice a gradual arc over the whole length of the trailer. Metal flexes and weight is put on it, so the longer arc helps counter the amount of bow that a heavy weight puts on it.
Thanks man seems like it's gonna work for me so I'm gonna give it a go. my middle bars are bent as well so I'm going to have to drill a hole on each end of each bar to hook my chain into but yeah this seems pretty promising
Straightened my boat trailer using your example sir; THANK YOU!

Nice job and thanks for uploading this video. It really helped me on how to fix a bent trailer that I have. Thanks again.
