I recommend that you tighten the spring-bar chains while the trailer is still on the jack, lowered just enough to engage the ball retainer mechanism. Makes the pull much easier and reduces the possilbility of a big snap-back.

On my WD hitch by REESE, I lower the jack and engage the ball retainer, then I use the jack to lift the rear of the vehicle a few inches, then I install the chains and tension bars. Once the bars are installed anc clips inserted, I lower the jack all the way and load the bars. Doing it this way there is very little no tension and I feel very safe.

My two cents.
