Something could break, but in my experience, this has not been an issue. On my trailer, the tongue weight plus the tv rear end weight lifting off of the springs, is less than the max 3500 pound weight of my tongue jack.
I lift mine until two things happen. First the popping sounds of the hitch "unwinding" stops. Second I can remove the retainer clips from the L brackets by hand. At this point, I can then pull my bars away by hand, pull the pins, and put them away.
