Thanks everybody for all of your input and advice.
The Max payload for the truck is 4000LB in bed of truck. The max towing capacity is 15300LB for trailer or 18000LB for 5th wheel.
I bought the extension from E-trailer which is a good source and in the specs it says to reduce max tongue weight about 1/3 which would make now make max tongue weight around 1340LB which would be no problem being that my trailer tongue weight is around 900-1000LB. This pic was August 2019 from Vegas to Williams, AZ. About 600 miles round trip with no problems but I want to raise the bed to get it level.
