I wanted to follow back up on the install and lower hitch extension.
The lower extension was drilled/punched incorrectly. A new one was sent by TL. It fit like a glove.
The length after install and camper placed on truck...was about 7" past rear camper bumper/step. A 24" would have worked as suggested on this thread but a longer ball mount would have been needed to get ball out past rear of camper bumper/step.
However, we launched the boat and the 36" was appreciated during the launch. The truck tires just touched the water and boat launched with ease. The shortest ball mount we used IMO is much preferred over a 8"-12" one that would have been needed with a 24" extension. Obviously other launch ramps will be at different angles and we'll see how it launches on those ramps.
The 36" allows for greater possibilities when launching a boat. If he was not launching a boat, then perhaps a 24" extension with a longer ball mount would work just fine. But for launching a boat, the added extension length turned out great.
Thanks for all of the assistance!
