How to tow a level trailer with a new truck.

Since the other thread is more about complaining about high trucks, (This thread) thought I'd open a new one about solutions.

My trailer is riding about 2" high with my current set up. I have a Valley 16k slider and a Reese 5th Airborne hitch on the Lippert 1621HD Pin Box.

This new trailer has put our current TV at its limits and thinking about upgrading to a 1 ton but the new trucks are a good 3" higher. The top of the AC on my trailer is already at 13'-6" and concerned about it making it higher. Don't need to pull down any low hanging cables or shear the AC off on a low bridge.

Are there any options out there to lower the truck or trailer to tow level without flipping the axles? I thought about a low profile hitch but the be rails are also 2" taller so that is not much help.
