24 Inch Hitch Extender Under The TC
Another issue I am trying to figure out with my new TC. Now that I've added the TC, the hitch receiver is "buried" under the TC's steps. There is now 24" from the face of the truck's hitch receiver ...

The thing about extending the receiver is there are bolt-on solutions out there.
Not so when extending the trailer tongue. You need custom fabrication.
Reality Check has piqued my curiosity on the tongue extensions. Do you have any pictures you could share?
Finished this one in a hurry last winter; still need to get it to my shop for a quick sandblast and paint. Function before beauty for sure.
I think the actual extension is 20". Tongue weight on this rig is more than I want (about 1700) and I'm moving/adjusting some items.
Couple of pieces of channel to make the 'box' tube, plate for gussets on the end of the original 'A' frame.
This one is going to get weight distribution. I'm not a fan of it..PITA and tongue weight doesn't affect my truck. But it does affect the extension, and this one needs to get lower and spread out, soooooo... WD is getting put on.
