The Buyers Products Double-Ball Hitch # 3371802215 is right round 7-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch balls, so it may not provide the clearance you're looking to achieve. For that reason you may want to have a look at the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 40343, which has 10-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount hole. This ball mount has a 6000-lbs capacity and requires a hitch ball with a 1" shank diameter like the # 63845 (2" hitch ball).
