36" extention with 2" receiver question.

I have a 36" 2.5 hitch extension that I want to mount into my 2" receiver...My tongue wait if 50-60lbs.

I was going to purchase a 24"L 2" square pipe to insert into my receiver and insert into my extension. I would need to shorten the extension by 12" I believe.

I spoke with a couple of people that did this and said they had no issues. They were also pulling much bigger loads.

This is on my new 3500 RAM dually.

Thought?

    I attached 2 18" extensions together and it makes up a 36" extension. I use this to tow a small jet ski trailer modified to carry a kayak. Basically, an empty trailer with a kayak weight of under 100 pounds. Works great and handles well.

    Also, 2 18" extensions is gonna be cheaper than a 36" extension.

    Last I looked the longest recommend extension with factory 2" was 18" extension. Go Torklift SuperHitch and never worry about it.
