Hey Jason, there are offset gooseneck ball solutions that an be used with Reese Goose Boxes like the part # RP85FR but that depends on the gooseneck hitch you have installed in your truck bed. For example, if you have a B and W Turnoverball you can use the part # BWGNXA4085 for a 4 inch offset, or if you have a Ram OEM gooseneck hitch in a Ram truck Geny-Y has the part # GY83XR for a 5 inch offset.
What gooseneck hitch do you have? There basically isn't a way to add any offset to the Goose Box.
