Hitch extension brace
I'm looking to hear from people only who have done this to get real-life info on their experiences. Opinions not of any value since I have already thought. I want to brace my extension bar. I do n...

Thank you to others trying to be helpful.
I am really interested in seeing someone who has tried something similar and can share. I don't really need help speculating on the math. There was one guy did similar but this was from many years ago and I have not been able to get in touch with him.
This is a hitch that I already am towing with an extension, and I am looking to beef up the extension. Torque is already on the hitch and frame. Short of some catastrophic event the torque will not be any greater by beefing up the extension. It is a class 5 hitch that can take 2,600 lbs on a regular length ball mount. Trailer weight is on the light side.
gritdog, I've already done the math, and is why I do not want someone to fill the post with math and explain the math again and again. My math btw, was done with correct measurements to my project, not some you had to speculate on, so you are already off. I am not providing measurements for a reason, specifically that I am not interested in forum reader's math.
I am looking for someone , as I mentioned, who has tried this to see what the real results were.
Noted on your objection.
I wonder why you feel the need to inject yourself when specifically asked not to…
Seems you are just here trying to make arguments and annoy people.
It makes the forum near useless to chime in on everything with opinions when the post asked for people who have tried something themselves.
You can do math all day long, but until you go try it for real cannot know exactly what occurs, which is what I am interested in.
The benefit of the forum is to try to find others across the country who maybe have tried something similar for real and hear what actually happened, but now you have corrupted the post and made everyone so annoyed with insistence they hear your opinion only and that only you are right that who the hell would want to read or even post anything now?
You are a toxic poster.
I know my sentences are short and to the point, but I am not trying to be annoying or disrespectful, just typing. This is not a place to enter with fragile emotions
