I do have options for you but the longer you extend the connection point from the trailer hitch, the less capacity you will have. That said, they do not offer a ball mount that is 16" long (center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole) and offers a 12,000 lb weight capacity. I do have an extended shank ball mount that has a 12,000 lb weight capacity, the Draw-Tite Ball Mount part # 4285 but it is only 12" long when measuring from the center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole. The closest I can get is one 14-5/8 long which is the longest we offer (center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole) is the Brophy Ball Mount part # EA40 which only has an 8,000 lb weight capacity.
