Sounds like you are looking for a hitch extender like the part # HE06 which will give you an additional 7 inches on your hitch. You should note that the use of these cuts the tongue weight capacity of the hitch it is used on by 50 percent.

You also need to check with the manufacturer of your trailer to determine it's towing capacity as well as check local laws in your area on whether or not what you are wanting to do is legal.
