raising trusses

I'm thinking about putting a pipe on my skidsteer bale spike to raise some trusses onto the exterior walls I haven't determined the length of pipe but probably ten feet. I have 2"galvanized that will slip over the spike. Is this a good idea? The spike is of good quality. It may not need to be that long because it's ten feet to top of wall and add 4 feet to peak. The trusses aren't very heavy.
option 2 is use forks and attach a T to the pipe about three ft from end and place it across the forks on top and under the fork bracket and secure so it won't move.
 
Easy enough to find out if the pipe is enough, just pick one slightly off the ground, stand on it and give it a bounce.

If it handles that, it should be good to go.
