I welded up an extension that went into the receiver and bolted to two of the three ball mount holes in the bumper using grade 8 1/2" bolts nuts and lock washers. One end was 2" od other end was 2" id. It was therefore bolted to the frame and bumper.
I was thinking something similar by possibly extending the side plates of the hitch but the depth of the bumper from front to back is a concern.
