That works for me. :C .... but I still have the pipe "just in case" ...

I was shown how to use the pipe to raise mine. takes about 1 second. don't know why I would mess around with tongue jack,etc. I was warned to stand off to the side in case the pipe comes shooting out. :)

That`s exactly why that is a dangerous way to do it! I have the pipe, but I have never used it! I have always used the tongue jack to raise the truck and trailer. I can then flip the levers up by hand.
