I have no problem with hitch extensions and use one myself when towing a particular cargo trailer. Having said that, if the trailer is exerting X amount of force to shove the rear of my pickup into the ditch, I don't see the need to make it 1.125 X. I contend that horizontal as well as vertical forces contribute to making a safe and enjoyable tow. I could be wrong.
OMG!! If 2" results in 1.125 increase in side force, then a 20 truck camper extension will result in 11.25 times increase in side force. How ya gonna keep it on the road
