Hitch Extender
I bought a 14" hitch extender today as I was in a tight spot a couple of weeks ago and almost took out a tail light:) Turns out....the extender REDUCES tongue and tow weight by 50%. Makes sense...

I thought the point of those 18 pages in Ron's thread was to get away from saying it redistributes tongue weight because it actually redistributes the load FORCES and that it's the use of the word "weight" that causes all the confusion.
Your sentence "it does NOT equalize weight" misstates the nomenclatures. It's LOAD equalizing hitch.
Perhaps Load Distributing Hitch would be the best of both worlds?
