You do the pull test with the gear a half-inch or so off the ground. :)
I do mine with gear down still holding the weight of the 5er and the wheels fully chocked! Have not damaged the LG yet!
With most of the weight supported by the LG, if by chance I have HIGH HITCHED, the amount of force to pull out hitch is greatly reduced. If you raise the gear 1/2" you have 2,000# to 4,000# of friction to over come during the pull test!
