I will add my .2 cents about building a sub frame to lift your trailer. DO IT if its economically in your ball park. It will hands down help with the strength of the frame in the suspension area.
I agree, a box with cross members actually improves the safety of the unit. Having cross members attached at the bottom of the main frame rails will prevent them from twisting or rolling sideways. There are many examples of units that experienced frame rail failures to due excessive side loading.
One more point for the OP. Another problem with nose high towing that can cause rough riding is the loss of suspension travel. When the equalizer is already tilted when static, then it has limited remaining travel to handle road bumps/potholes.
