Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels

Our 128 pound robot can go over the six inch steps using the 12 inch wheels in the kit. The set of front wheels go over with no problem but the back set of 12 inch wheels get hung up and start spinning a lot. We eventually get up to the top of the platform but it takes great effort for the driver to get up there. I was thinking that maybe lowering the pressure on the back tires would help. Also, I was thinking that adding 2 pounds of weight behind the back tires would also help since most of the weight would be in front of the back wheels after the front wheels climb the 6 inch step. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
