B and W does offer an offset gooseneck ball for their Turnover hitches that also sits up a bit taller with the part # BWGNXA4085. I attached a picture that shows this ball next to the standard ball and you can see it's noticeably taller.

For a similar ball without the offset we have the # BWGNXA2050. This only 1 inch taller though.

The tongue of the trailer needs to be above the bed rails so that the trailer can turn correctly when making turns and going over bumps to clear the truck. I will attach a photo to help explain the clearances needed for your trailer.
