With the utility body, the height of the boxes and the depth into the box are an issue. The only option for compatibility is a gooseneck hitch and gooseneck adapter.
For a gooseneck hitch, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1012. Then for the gooseneck adapter I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall # CAB-C5GX1216 to give you that additional turning clearance for the longer box. This will only work if your utility boxes are under 16 inches over the bed of your truck.
