There is a simple solution for you to use your Curt TruTrack # C17501 on a trailer frame that is 8 inches. What you would need to do is use the Frame Brackets for 8" Frames # C17515, which is designed to work with your system and clamps onto trailer frames up to 8" without drilling.

I've added a link to a video review of this part for you to take a look at.
