I also have a relatively low trailer hitch and have learned to always do this, but sometimes have to wait for traffic to clear so I can use part of the other lane. There is an Cracker Barrel parking lot exit East of Louisville that is so steep that I cross (slowly) at a 45 degree angle. The alternative can be to become "High centered" between the front wheels and trailer hitch dragging on the pavement, and the rear wheels spinning from no traction. I saw a friend get in this situation once, on a crossover with a big dip between east and westbound of a 4 lane divided highway, and it was a real mess...
