I can try to take some pictures tomorrow but the link you posted looks a lot like our street! We are towing with a minivan too, if that matters (you can probably tell that from my screen name).
We also measured the tires and they are 13". I guess that is the default? If 15" tires and a lift kit will take care of the problem, we can do that! With the swing away hitch, this should fit into the garage but first we have to get it up the driveway

OOOOOPS!!!! One possible problem. Be sure that you can clear the garage door if you lift the trailer.
I you are using a WDH, you might want to try pulling the trailer up until just before the rear of the trailer hits. Remove the WDH, put a couple of 2x6s in front of the trailer tires and pull forward until you clear the dip in the street.....or visa versa.
That's certainly not a permanent solution but it may get you up your driveway for now.
