Chock the 5vr wheels so it can not move
Get some heavy cribbing (large wide blocks of wood) and couple of bottle jacks (at least 6 ton)
Then place bottle jacks on cribbing each side towards front to lift 5vr via frame
Unlatch hitch in truck...jack both sides up until 1/4" of daylight between pin bx/hitch head
Place some jack stands on some cribbing to support 5vr while unhitched
Drive truck out from under 5th wheel
