Trailer supplier's have the blocks and longer spring hangers to raise your trailer more... I have the same issue since the 5th wheel I have already has the flip and pin as low as it will go.

Go check out Trailerblocks.com this will just give you an idea but I have seen parts at my local trailer place for much less... good luck!
