A BIT steep?! :h Wow, I too have a driveway that slopes noticeably from the garage down to the street but not anywhere near what you're talking about. :E I certainly wouldn't want one of the axles to elevate off the ground at any time so my first thought would be to first remove the weight distribution spring bars before backing up on to the driveway. Having the axle equalizers offset while backing up isn't an issue but I do prefer to not have them sit that way for extended periods of time so I built a set of Wheel Pads that serve two purposes.
With the trailer leveled front to back so we can use it the axle equalizers sit relatively level, just as they would on level terrain, allowing each to bear a normal amount of weight and 2) with the weight of the trailer bearing down on the pads and against the rubber chocks the trailer is locked in place and can't inadvertently shift forward.
