About the only part i don't full agree with is the pull test. I do mine LG still supporting most of the weight of the 5er, in the event of a high hitch much easier to pull out with less weight on the pin!!!
To those worried about strain on the LG, well wheels fully chocked 5er doesn't move, no strain, I would think 2,000#+ dropping down on the LG would do more damage!.
There is a difference between holding up 2,000#+ and having it dropped an inch or two, the drop is what brought down the World Trade center!
I also do as soon as I have captured the pin, and before locking the handle of the hitch.
