Towing without a W/D, 7K trailer, Ram CTD 3/4 ton

Im moving about 350 miles next week. I need to drop the front of my trailer about 2 inches but have ran out of room on my drop hitch. No where near me has a WDH drop long enough. But I can get a stand...

If you hitch is rated for the tongue weight without WDH you should be fine. I regularly tow 12,000 or more on my equipment trailer without WDH. I load it for proper tongue weight and go. My Super Hitch is rated for 1,500 pounds tongue weight without weight distribution.
WDHs were basically invented to let much smaller vehicles tow much larger trailers. A 3/4T truck and a 7k trailer isn't mismatched enough to need one.
