Who here is using a hitch extension?

I was curious who here was using a hitch extension to tow a small boat, trailer etc.

Not interested in SuperHitch as this isn't feasible to me at this time.

I am looking to haul some kayak's and some other light weight items.

I was wondering how you guys are doing with 24-36" extensions.

I've used a 24" extension with my 10" ball mount quite a bit to haul my 18' river boat (with a 35hp Go-Devil Surface Drive, btw) on it's trailer. The tongue weight was probably around 90 lbs ?? because I could just about lift it onto the ball. I drove the haul road a couple of times with the boat package without any issues. And drove a lot on interior AK paved roads with it too.

I also used the same extension to haul my 16' ATV trailer loaded with with mining equipment up the Steese Hwy. No worries.

I sold the boat and ATV packages when I moved to America so the only thing I use the extension for now is my bike carrier or Malone kayak trailer.

No issues for my setup. No superhitch, just an extension out of my 2" Class 3 receiver hitch. I do use a J-pin and that helps A LOT with any kind of rattling on the extension. I recommend them.
