It not only stopped the dragging but the trailer's weight is better distributed on all its wheels for better towing. This was done after we lowered the hitch in the front as much as practical for clearance.
Just a thought, what about dropping the front end down one setting at the king pin? A 2" drop at the king pin should improve the rear clearance by 1" or so...assuming that the truck rail clearance is OK. That would negate the need to raise the entire back end.

As for the height difference, with the trailer blocks I doubt there would be much of a change, as (at least for my Montana) the highest point is in the front at the top of the A/C unit, not in the rear.

Anyway, my 1 cent...
