gbopp...thanks for the clicky.
The 1st reason I am looking into doing this is because I need to lower the tongue weight and I can't reposition my suv and rzr any differently to do that. Adding the extension would let me move the suv further back behind the axles and take some weight off the tongue. The 300lb extension would help take some weight off the tongue also.
The 2nd reason is because I have a 4 post hoist built into the trailer and graphics on the outside to match the motorhome, so trading this trailer in on a new one and adding graphics and hoist would cost more than the extension.
I have weighed the trailer with suv and rzr inside and I am 1000lbs under the axle ratings. The dealer is located in Lake Havasu which is where I'm at right now. He is the main guy that designed and patented the extensions and is coning out Monday to look the trailer over and take measurements.
I appreciate the thoughts and concerns regarding this product. I've looked it over at their shop and it looks like a well built and fairly stout product. I am still hoping someone has actually done the extension.
