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...

I have an 08 3/4 ton chevy (2500 HD ) and my factory hitch is a class V rated for 1000# tongue weight. Not sure if mine is unusual or not for the weight rating.

As stated in the above posts, I would go for the overloaded hitch also. There is a safety factor built in, I would imagine. Nose high is just asking for trouble when towing. Balance the trailer and be careful.
