With the pictures, it's an easy solution.
When you get to the point shown in the pictures, put a couple 2x10 boards behind the trucks rear axle (double them up if you need more height).
As you back up, the rear axle of the truck will ride up on the boards lifting the hitch with the rear axle.
Once you get the rear axle onto the driveway up-slope, you should no longer need the boards as the rear axle will be going up based on the driveway slope.
Keeping the WDH bars connected will help also as they reduce the hitch weight and thus the trucks rear springs from compressing as much...net result is the hitch will sit an inch or so higher.
If you read the first post, he is using boards and the wdh scraping is worse than no dist bars and a saggy butt.
Yeah, read the first post. Disconnecting the bars likely will make it worse as it increases the hitch weight dragging the butt down further and the truck hitch will be more likely to hit.
Based on the picture, I see no way using boards is going to make it worse.
