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.

Not if you are using WD.
Read what Ron Gratz had to say back in 2010:

OK. I checked out what Ron Gratz had to say. I'll admit that I didn't understand much of it. I'm not even a "first year engineering student" let alone a second-year one.
However. Look at what I said. I said the extender would "have an impact." I believe that's true, even after having read through Gratz's material. I'm not sure what the impact would be - increase or decrease or by how much. But I still maintain it is something to consider if you're going to extend your shank. If I were going that route I'd work on understanding the physics of what I was doing.
