Expert Reply:
If you have a height adjustable hitch you may be able to lower the front of the trailer which may lift the rear enough to no longer drag when going up your driveway.
If that is not enough clearance or you want to maintain the level ride with you 2006 Jayco Featherlite I recommend adding some Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller # UF48-979021 to the back of your Jayco. These rollers are very low profile and will help to prevent the rear of the trailer from dragging and digging into the road surface. Instead it will more easily roll when the wheels come into contact with the roadway so that you do not damage the road surface or the parts of the trailer. It has a grease zerk wet bolt design that allows the roller to be easily greased.
