The overall height of the CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly for 3" Wide Trailer Tongues # CE32003G is 11-1/2 inches tall so it would work great to take up the 8 inches you have on your trailer. You can adjust the height and angle of the roller assembly using different mounting holes and position on the frame.
