I posted similar thread in tow vehicle section. It seems to be the answer that comes up on these types of questions is to keep raising the trailer. I too have raised my trailer as far as I want to go. I went from a fw with 1200 lbs hitch weight to one with 2200 lbs. This changed the height about 2 inches. I doubt that 400 lbs would be enough for you, but you might try putting 400 lbs of people in the bed just to see where you would be. If the tank is going to be ahead of the hitch, I would think that that weight would be distributed to the front axle as well. If I can't get the lowering shackles to work, I am actually thinking about doing some customizing on the bed rails.
