There's little sense in modifying the trailer when the simple solution is to switch to a weight distribution system which by it's design offers maximum ground clearance. Here's a pic of an Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution Hitch mounted on our previous KZ Spree. As you can see there are no chains and the spring bars are straight unlike the "hockey stick" spring bars your current round bar chain WD system uses. There's also no need for a separate friction sway bar as sway control is a function of the design of the Equal-i-zer.

---I do believe they sell the Eaz lift Recurve R3 and R6. Those would also work out great for my situation because the round bars go on top. Let's see if they will swap it for me.---

If you go with an Equalizer as was suggested -which is a good option - because the coupler is under slung the new spring bars will be lower for you than was shown in the pic by a few inches so you will not gain the full benefit of using that style of WDH.
If you keep the existing WDH get yourself a longer bar/pipe - like three feet long- to use to "snap up" the chain brackets. How long is the one you use?

I lift the truck so high as it is just to get the second link hooked up there is no way I would be able to get any more chain links connected. I am 110 lb female hitching up, and the tension is just too much for me.

I would love that hitch but here is the issue. I have already spent $600 in the system they set up for me and they do not sell that particular hitch there. So its not like they could swap it out for me.

You learned a thing or two for sure and that can't hurt.
I hope it has not lead to confusion for you.
Knowing what you do now what do you think is the correct fix and/or what would you like the dealer to do for you?
