The forum is looking a little convoluted today so I am not able to fully follow the thread but if it hasn't been answered, I got a long drawbar from Leonard's Trailers in North Jackson, Ohio (near Youngstown) 12800 Leonard Parkway, North Jackson, OH 44451,
Phone: (330) 538-2112, http://www.leonardtrailers.com. I am sorry but I can't remember the length and I am away from home. If necessary, I will measure it when I return home.

They had them in stock but they used to have a strong on line sales presence. I had trouble finding their on line parts and accessories when I checked their site so you may have to call them.

My goal was to get it as SHORT as I could but still allowing me to drop the tailgate. Turning my jack sideways gave me a few extra inches which helped a lot.

Also, if you want the tailgate down when trailer and truck are not both facing straight forward, be sure to check to see, if you are parked at an angle, will the dropped tailgate hit the jack, the propane tank housing or something else.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can always just replace the tongue jack and put it on the side of the A-Frame. I want to avoid this, not because it has any inherent faults but because having the right length ball mount would be so much easier.

As for hitting the propane tanks I think those are far enough back to be out of the way unless I was kicked over at a sharp angle. But this is another reason to have a longer drawbar.

Thanks again for the number.
