[VAL] Back end dragging



Hello,

I am Bill and live in Memphis.  I just purchased my first Airstream.  It is 
a 69, 31ft Sovereign.  Brought it home from Ohio this last week.  Had a 
problem with the original hitch it was to tall.  So I bought a new one and 
made the ball 19 inches high.  This helped with leveling the trailer and I 
thought it help keep the back end from dragging, but I soon discovered that 
there are many driveways that just were not built with my trailer in mind.

I was thinking of raising the trailer height by adding a spacer in between 
the trailer frame and the frame that actually has the suspension attached to 
it.  So I thought I would join the discussion group and see if this was a 
good idea of if there might be a better option out there.

Bill
