You can get a longer shank for your ball mount, whichever way is cheaper.
Like most things, this idea has "legs." If you extend your shank it will have an impact on your towing capacity. If you're anywhere near your limits now, you need to check into this before you do it.

A valid concern, but I concur with the idea, especially after looking at the trailer in question. I did it and am very happy with the outcome. It's awesome to be able to lay the tailgate down and open the tonneau cover for unfettered access to the bed. It would be very troublesome otherwise. My better half has already hurt herself trying to hold the tailgate partially open while reaching in the bed.
