With flatbed any welding shop should reinforce any hitch to strength you desire.
I used to have F250 flatbed with standard hitch and I was towing 18,000 lb trailer with pintle hitch on it.
I am a welder so it was a matter of 20 minutes to cut small plate and weld it between the hitch and flatbed chanel to make very strong setup.
Did not have extension, but I think my tongue was getting to 5000lb on occasions.
