Help raising 5th wheel landing jacks
I want to add something to my landing jack pads to help me raise them without having to bend to much or get on the ground. This is to raise them into the travel position after I am hooked to my truck....

Some of the landing gear jacks for gooseneck trailers have spring loaded legs. As soon as the pin is pulled, the leg goes up by itself, pulled up by an internal spring.

And yes, get out of the way when you pull the pin, they go up fast!
