Question about stabilizer jacks and landing gear

I note some of the respondents on this thread lower the front end a little, extend the rear stabilizing jacks and then raise the front against the pressure being applied by the rear jacks. It seems that would put unnecessary strain on the front landing gear assembly. I always level the front first before lowering the rear jacks. I feel the landing gear motor and associated gearing has enough work to do without adding more burden by forcing it against the rear jacks. JMHO....
