When I hookup, I have already raised the rear jacks, and I adjust the pin box so it rides up the hitch plate, which takes quite a bit of weight off the front jacks. I then do the tug test, and the jack plates will slide a little bit but has caused no issues. By ramping up the plate, I have never high hitched, so the pin has always been fully wrapped and fully closed. I then get out, attach the safety cable, still do a visual of the jaws, and then close the tailgate of the truck, and then finally raise the front jacks. The reason the left jack comes up first is because it's closer to the pump, the same reason when using the rear button to raise all the rear jacks, the left ones there also come up first.
