Lower the truck is the smart move. But since you are unlikely to do that, adding a sub frame is the only option. But that is going to cost you a lot of cash unless you have excellent fabrication skills. That is going to involve supporting the trailer on stands, cutting off all of the axles, springs and spring hangers. Welding a piece of box tubing to the bottom of the frame and then welding new spring hangers. The slightest mistake in fitting or welding is going to make for a very expensive pile of junk sooner or later. Not to mention a very unstable tow due to the high center of gravity.
