When it was bowed enough, we kicked out the jack. We're really lucky nobody lost a leg.
If I had to do it over, I'd use 2x6s and 8s. They'd flex a lot easier, and supply a lot less death-n-dismemberment potential.

On my father's I just cut off a top lip big enough to get an end of one board through, then slid all the other boards over once inserted & then tacked that lip back on. Seemed like the easiest way to get the wood in there. My own trailer has a metal deck.
