BTW - rather than getting the front wheel perfectly aligned, I think I like the idea more of getting it actually off the ground. Not by much, but with the winch mounted a foot or so higher than the tongue height I think you can get there.

Without knowing how steep a run we're talking about it's a little hard to figure out. I was assuming it was not super-steep, so the winch being higher shouldn't end up with the trailer tongue in the ceiling when pulled all the way up. If this is a steeper setup that may not work, but won't be as important since gravity will be helping you more then.

In any event, you could pull the trailer up, chock the wheels, then lower the tongue back down to take the load off the winch while stored in the house......
