Heavy duty hitch extension??

I have a Mega Cab dually Ram that I use to tow a 15K race trailer. I want to get a camper for the truck, but the highest capacity hitch/extension setup I can find is the Torklift. Their extension is only rated at 12K and worse, only 1200 lbs tongue weight. My trailer is over 2000 lbs tongue weight. Has anyone on here had anything custom built to tow heavy trailers? Thanks!

Hmm, interesting, I didn't think of that. I'd have to find a shop willing to do it.


Woah, that thing is crazy lol. My trailer is bumper pull, and this would also make me setup longer than the legal length limit of 65'. That's pretty cool though....

I think if I was wanting to haul a truck camper and tow a trailer with that much tongue weight, I’d be looking at this:
