I had the same hitch and the same problem...best solution I found was to put the truck in neutral as stated earlier to let the rig get to a relaxed point then put it in park and set the brake...this is after backing in, leveling side to side and chocking the wheels...lower the front landing gear just to the ground, then pull the release handle to the lock position, lower the front gear until the pin box just clears the hitch, then pull forward.
To hook up, pull the release handle to the locked position, position the pin box so it is slightly lower than the hitch (so it climbs the hitch as you back up)...when the pin is fully seated, the handle will release and the sliding bar will move to a locked position.
Don't know if this helps, but it worked for me.
