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...

With the GM 3/4 and 1-ton trucks no weight distributing hitch is needed or advised and they can tow up to 13,000 lbs. with a ball hitch. The frames on these trucks are considerably stronger than with smaller trucks, SUVs, and automobiles.

Check the towing guide from the manufacturer as it should state for your model whether or not a WDH is needed.
