The AF 990 is a 10' camper, so you should be able to use an extension around 24" - My 9' AF811 required a 28" extension on my short bed Ford.
With the weight you want to tow, you will not need a SuperHitch unless you have later plans for something heavier. If you can stay with 2' extension, I think the OEM hitch will handle the leverage of load. I would still use side chains on the extension to limit lateral forces on the receiver.
