I'm wondering if I should install a 2" ball to the extension so the stock coupler could attach to it. If nothing else it would hold the extension in place while I install the hitch pins.
I would simply weld it to the top of the square tubing as I wouldn't have a way of holding the nut inside the tube.
What say the fort???
Don't see the need. Have you got it so the front could lay on the ground, slide the rear pin in, then pivot up the front for the second pin? Might need to shave/angle the rear of the tube for that (for the pivot).
Shear on two 5/8" pins is massive... but then I'm no engineer. But Torklift I think have a few look at their stuff, and 2 pins seems to be adequate for their loads...
