Can the jack be re positioned at all? Years back I had the same problem and just rotated the jack 180 degrees plus the plate between the frame rails had a very much larger mounting hole and gave me another 1/4-1/2". On mine, the jack had a triangular mount so I did need to drill 3 new holes.

You can also get creative if you have the tools and either hole saw a new mount hole or make up a different frame plate. If you make another hole, you may need to bolt/weld aa piece of steel on the existing frame monted plate.

As far as extension hitches - it adds a different lever arm to the combo which may mess up handling characteristics but of course is an option
