Longer reciver stinger, what effect on ?

I added a longer tow bar to push the trailer back enough to drop our tailgate. So far it has not seemed to affect handling or anything else. However, I am towing a relatively light, very stable, 19 foot Airstream with a heavy duty F 150. If you are closer to your weight limits I suppose that it would be wise to calculate and watch carefully. Also, to minimize the amount of extension needed, I turned the tongue jack sideways giving me a few extra inches. If you turn the jack, think about what side you want the jack controls on. I turned it to the same side as the other hookups so I didn't have to switch sides when setting up or breaking camp. I have before and after photos if you need them.

PS: Don't use a hitch extension, use a longer hitch. I don't remember the details but an extension reduced capacity significantly over a solid, longer hitch bar.
