So I picked up some pallets of MV stuff and couldn't unload the stuff, as I cannot get up into my field to access the area to put the stuff. Just way to sloppy with all this rain. So where I parked the trailer there is a side slope and I noticed that was putting a lot of weight on the lower side. The upper side's springs were level but the lower side's spring pack was bowed. I lowered the tongue jack completely and blocked up the back bumper on the lower (right) side leaving no gap. Then I just jacked up the tongue jack until the arc in the springs was gone. Seemed to put a lot of the weight on the blocks and off the springs.

Hope this helps anyone wanting to take the weight off their springs. Beats dragging out the 20 ton bottle jack. Why not use the jack that's already there?
