Need ideas for rear cargo rack

I need some ideas.

I purchased a Champion generator last year and mounted it to a rear cargo rack. The rack was too wide and hit the ladder preventing it from going into the hitch receiver. I purchased an extension, drilled it to shorten the extension, mounted the generator and thought everything was good. NOT

The rack extends 34” behind the Monty. Going up and down inclines it drags the ground. I could cut the extension and remove about 4” so the rack extends about 30”. However I don’t know if that would work.

I’ve tried to figure a away to raise the rack about 12” the give enough ground clearance. The generator is too big to fit the front bay where the Onan is designed to go. We have the short bed F350 with a slider hitch. So there’s no room to put it in the bed of the truck. Short of purchasing another rack that will clear the ladder and mount against the Monty or modifying the current rack, I’m out of ideas.
