If the wheels are completely in the bed, remove the tailgate. Most take about 30 seconds.

Not anymore if you have locks and cameras in them. You'd have to install your own disconnect and then you could!

Here's how you know for certain - hook up with the tailgate closed. Now open the tailgate - I'd venture to guess that turning will not be possible unless the jack is below the gate or you remove it.
