I don't recall which maker of tongue jacks but I have heard there is one that is shorter? Or maybe longer? that helps with this situation. I have also heard on some brands, husky I think , you can rotate how it is mounted to help as well.

With my wifes truck, an envoy, it opens just fine. We don't pull with that anymore, and with my tahoe I can't. In fact I am always mindful to disable to auto opening thing so I don't accidentally mess something up. Thankfully for have glass that opens in the back for access when we need it.

Just realized you have a pickup. So maybe rotating the jack 90 degrees would help?
