Sway bar problems

I have a problem putting the sway bars on the TT. My RV is parked alongside my house. It is level ground. The driveway (gravel) leading to the TT is sloped upwards. I have to use an 8-10 inch block just to get the tongue under the ball to hook up. The angle is to high to put on/take off the sway bars. This is a new Open Roads 26BH trailer. It is 6 feet longer than my old trailer. The old TT was shorter and I could put on/remove the sway bars after using some muscle and a bar. I cannot move my TT back any further. I am planning on using some stacking blocks to make a sort of ramp to raise the front of the truck. If that doesn't work I will try to hookup and then move the trailer to level ground to put on/off the bars. Anybody have this problem or have any suggestions on how to hookup easier?
