I don't have the swing tongue, so that's not an issue. I just called a dealer, and they said the new trailers' cables are attached to the 2 rear bolts that attach the tongue jack to the tongue.
Good point Bill about the tongue hitting the gas tank. I would think you would want it to hit the ground to help slow it down and prevent it from wagging around. Besides, I am guessing the tongue jack will hit the ground first, even if the cables caught the tongue, so the tongue may not ever touch the ground anyway.
Also, I just found these cables -- they are straight. No slinky design. A bit pricey, but being galvanized and vinyl coated, I would hope you'd never have to buy another set.

Not sure why they are 64" long though. Check out the $178 installation fee. Apparently, I am in the wrong profession.
Wayne - why do you prefer the cables?
