I find the easiest way to get back to the same height as when I unhooked is to keep a china marker in the bin closest to my landing gear switch and make a mark on the landing gear where it exits the fixed housing prior to pulling out from under the fifth wheel. When I am ready to leave I return the height to this mark and am perfect every time. Just remember to use a little wd40 to clean off the marks once in awhile. It serves as a nice lubricant also. I am sure many others use this method.
I also have a cover that is hard to see over and when it's an issue I have found it much easier to let my wife back the truck in while I direct verses the other way around. She usually hits the spot first time around without any mumbling under my breath from me.
