I agree with Ron.
I had a 5th, and had to "build" up the springs to get an extra 3" of clearance so I could back up my steep driveway.
Took the trailer to a spring builder, who added a leaf, and did something called "setting up the second stage", I think.
Made the trailer stiffer, but the only thing I noticed was the extra inches made the first step farther up from the ground.
Safe travels
