Calculating how an extension de-rates your receiver.

A weight distribution hitch would be akin to an adult lifting up on the right end of the teeter-totter in the picture above.

Oh, and Kayteg1's math works out to 6400lbs. My RAWR is 9350lbs. I could load another modest hardside TC on top of the one I already have and still not overload the axle.

My extension is only 14". Not 4'. So 700lbs would only add about 1000lbs to the rear axle. I wouldn't even need weight distribution at that point.

This is an awesome thought exercise guys. Thanks!
