We do have a ball mount that should work well for your towing setup, but, the item you referenced, Forged Ball Mount, part # 40332, will not provide the 7 inches of clearance from the pin hole to the edge of the bumper.
The item you selected, Titan Ball Mount, part # 45291, cannot be used in the rise position, so it will not work for your towing setup either.
A good solution to provide rise to keep your trailer fairly level when towing and to clear your rear bumper would be the Curt Ball Mount, part # D-28. The Curt Ball Mount # D-28 has 8-1/4 inches of clearance from center of the hitch pin hole to where the rise begins.
To attach part # D-28 to your hitch you will need Pin and Clip, part # PC3. For added security, we have the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # e98880.
I have linked an FAQ on choosing the correct ball mount that you may find as a good reference. I have also linked a video review of the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # 7683.
