Pin Box Move

I need to lower the pin box on my toy hauler. There are 5 bolts on each side.
If I lower it 1 hole I will only have 4 bolts on each side. Has anyone done this successfully?

Why not lower the hitch head instead of the pin box?

The hitch is raised as high as it will go. The trailer is nose down so I need to lower the pin box.

Perhaps a call to the Manufacturer would be in order.

I called LCI and there response was that they couldn't advise me me as the whether that would be ok.
I took that answer as a no and will pursue other options.
