Unless there's a likelihood that the trailer can roll back on its own (an un-level site AND brake failure) I usually do it with the jacks up, ready to roll if the creep test is successful.
As I've emphasized, the creep test is done very gently and slowly so if the trailer starts to move much at all I can stop the truck while it's still under the trailer. Raising the jacks only an inch or two before this test, and then getting out of the truck and finishing the departure routines is even safer, and I guess I can understand you being more nervous about that.

Join the club. Every time you move to either pickup or drop a trailer, the tailgate must be down. I was fortunate to have not retracted my landing gear but a few inches, and the damage was just to the tailgate.

Yes! The jaws encircle the kingpin and the lock bar slides behind the jaws. Easy to see. Love it with the Demco Glide Ride also.

Would this be possible with one of those Anderson hitches that connect to a goose neck?

When I dropped my FW onto the gate and bed, it gave me an excuse to get a flow gate.... I had spray-on bed liner on the rails which minimized the damage a bit, so I left the rails as is and never bothered with insurance.

Tough lesson from a easy mistake to make. Just ordered a new 3500 dually, and once we decide which 5th wheel to go with, it will be Reese Goosebox for sure.
