It is not going to break. The yield point is a substantial percentage
of the stress at which it would break. It it bends sitting, it would
break the first time you hit a bump.
Question is will my parking it with a floor jack under the center bent
it back over time.
No. See above.
Really? Cause it bows up about 3" in the center when I lift the
entire trailer and boat from the center of the axle with the floor
jack. You're saying that doesn't matter, that's not enough to bend it
any. Even if I do this for cummulative months?
