Rather you need an extension or not that ball is a long way from the receiver. There's alot more leverage there and if your towing something heavy theres potential for disaster. If I were you I would call the manfacturer of the hitch and see what they think.
FYI - I went through the same thing except with my RV. I was towing a 3000lb boat. I ended up having to weld to new receivers (for a total of three) into the hitch assembly.
