You could get an extended ball mount. It would probably make up the distance. https://www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=Extended+Ball+Mount
I was looking at these but I got a little nervous.
I already have a pair of 10" extensions. I'm afraid to lose structural integrity adding more than 20" on.
Any thoughts on this?
Because I've been very tempted to order another extension like this off Amazon while I'm as a fixed address this week.
I'm currently at 20" from the normal hitch receiver with a pair of 10" extensions like you'd buy at Uhaul.
This is all a 2" system and a trailer just shy of 3000lbs though not loaded up much at all. Still, it's a 12x6 trailer.
Here is the trailer...

I can’t believe that you even think that it is OK to start linking up these 10” hitch extensions and then put a ball mount on top of them! Your stock truck hitch was never designed or rated for a hitch extension, no matter how little hitch weight you think you have.
