Your problem is a common issue which we have the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # 80232 to resolve. This ball mount is 15-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount. This is typically around 7-8" longer than most ball mounts. You will need a ball with a 1" shank which I have listed the different sizes below.
1-7/8" Ball # C40002
2" Ball # 63845
2-5/16" Ball # C40005
