I turned the jack head to gain an inch or so of clearance. I don't know how much more room you need, but that worked for me. Can't remember if I turned it 90* or 180*, but I do remember that only one position would work.
I probably don't have to mention this, but safety first------
If you do this, make sure that you block the trailer tongue before unbolting the head. So after blocking the wheels, raise the trailer with the jack, support the tongue with blocking, then retract the jack to free it.
If you have a metal fabricator nearby, maybe you can have one made.
I’ve considered making a short hitch extension. Don’t have a trailer that needs it currently, but it would be handy, regardless.
Have to be a backwoods fab shop though to make one for a customer. That whole liability thing….
