Modifying 5th Wheel landing legs

I am looking for a way to make the process of raising and lowering my landing legs easier on me. I am disabled and have extreme difficulty bending or getting down on the ground to deal with the landing legs. I have the pull pins to drop them but you always seem to need to raise them a bit to get them to lock into the hole. When raising I need to get down and lift them up until they lock.

I know expensive rigs have fully automatic systems but I don't have that kind of money available.

All suggestions to assist are greatly appreciated

Thanks !

Simpley drill a 1/4 inch hole in the landing leg foot plate and install an eye bolt and then you can lift the leg with your awning rod. If you have 2 rods you can use one to pull the release pin and the other to lift the leg.
