Either the coupler needs to be mounted on top or I will need a new hitch system.

There's little sense in modifying the trailer when the simple solution is to switch to a weight distribution system which by it's design offers maximum ground clearance. Here's a pic of an Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution Hitch mounted on our previous KZ Spree. As you can see there are no chains and the spring bars are straight unlike the "hockey stick" spring bars your current round bar chain WD system uses. There's also no need for a separate friction sway bar as sway control is a function of the design of the Equal-i-zer.

I would love that hitch but here is the issue. I have already spent $600 in the system they set up for me and they do not sell that particular hitch there. So its not like they could swap it out for me.
Of course they can swap it out for you. If I understand your situation correctly the dealer that sold you the trailer also sold and installed a WD system inappropriate for use on this trailer. Yes, I remember you saying this dealership is now under different ownership but if they value you as a customer they could easily swap this system you have now for an Equal-i-zer which can be purchased by any dealer whether it's a normally stocked item or not. If not, buy one yourself and if the dealer won't take your existing one back sell it privately ... either way, an Equal-i-zer will absolutely solve your problem while also providing you with one of the most highly regarded weight distribution systems on the market today.
