Does anyone know where I can get an extended ball for my gooseneck for my 5th wheel camper?

I have a GMC puck gooseneck system in my GMC truck and I tow a 5th wheel camper (with a gooseneck hitch) and my camper is rubbing on the top sides of my truck bed when I go up hills. I can't find anyone who knows of an extended ball with a puck system..... Thank you!
 
Can you not lower the pin box on the 5th wheel to raise the overhang and increase clearance? If not, there are some short risers available but they won't raise you much as this is a high-stress situation and added leverage is your enemy. Here's a 1" riser:

Amazon.com: B&W Trailer Hitches (GNXA2050 Gooseneck Hitch Ball: Automotive

You can also get different pin boxes that would lower the trailer's ball socket and increase your clearance. Check eTrailer and do a search for "raising the gooseneck."

Good luck.
