If you have an adjustable rack, start slow. Maybe up the bar by 2 inches if possible. Then do some RP's from that point, with your current workout weight and see how it feels. If it feels okay, maybe raise the bar more until you are near your knee cap. If normal DL's don't hurt you, rack pulls should not either as the bar should travel the same path. It's just shorter ROM. I can usually pull 100lbs more from the knee, so you should be moving more weight when you get your form down and it feels right.
Good luck.
