Best solution we have would be a weld on hitch tube like the part # 337RT255808 which is the correct 2-1/2 inch hitch size. You'd need to have this welded onto your trailer frame in a location that makes sense but we don't have a custom install solution for your trailer. What you referenced is the wrong hitch size.
