If you go to the skid wheels make sure that you realize that you are DECREASING the already low clearance. The decreased clearance will put even more weight on the back of the frame when it hits and will probably end up with you making the local truck and trailer frame shop very happy for your business as this would cause damage not covered by warranty. Just put boards across the dip and at the curb to make going up it easier (and without causing damage to the tires) and smoother.

be careful with the skid wheels. I did that on my previous TT. Caused a lot of flex in the frame where it wasn't intended. There is evidence of it all over the TT...
I dealt with this for a couple of years on the previous unit, then finally "flipped my axles" to raise the TT 5 inches...
Put some boards in the low area, like 2 x 4's or 2 x 6's.

As others have said, be very careful with the skid wheels. Sharp inclines that take advantage of the skid wheels could possibly over stress your frame.
Hey, you can reduce the amount of weight distribution to allow the tongue to drop a little, that raises the TT back end. Try adding one or two more links into tension, then when the tongue is a little lower you might be able to sneak up that slope without a lot of drama. Of course you can't completely remove the WD or the tongue will probably drag...
