Thanks for the suggestions, I never considered a longer shank nor did the UltraFab 3502 show up on my radar.
The dilemma comes with my safety chains, they are barely long enough now even using D-rings to connect them to the receiver. I have a Blue Ox Sway Pro hitch and the cost of the longer shank is about what the UltraFab would cost.
The easiest solution is to go with the UltraFab. I do like that it has a zerk fitting to grease the screw and is fairly inexpensive with a 2 year warranty.
You can buy the appropriate strength chain and connectors to lengthen your existing safety chain. I did that for a trailer and the cost was about $15.
