One thing to consider about the "thing" (!) extension is how much it would hang under the tongue, IF you leave it on the jack!!! Back of tow veh goes down in a driveway entrance or ditch in the woods, so does the tongue of trailer!! No problem if removed until needed, but another step in the hookup/unhook procedure.
If you were referring to me dragging out the driveway, I'm hoping the flat plate on the tongue jack will act as a skid plate if it ever actually drags. I had a 6x6x10' cargo trailer with an A frame front and a center tongue jack that would drag and sometimes slam on the blacktop leaving my gravel drive. I replaced the A frame jack with a side fold up one with a wheel to solve that. Last summer, I had my drive smoothed down some and a bit of its hump lowered. I go out slow with the TT trying to angle the trailer to prevent the drain pipe from dragging. I'm still seriously considering flipping my axle to gain plenty of clearance.
