I see. Thanks for all this information.
You guys probably saved me a huge problem down the road.
I've always driven pre-configured trailers. Like the bigger ones with Bobcat loaders on them behind 1 ton dump trucks. It was a ring on the trailer and a clamp type receiver on the truck.
This is new to me setting my own stuff up and having such terrible, limited choices to make.
My chains and light cabling both reach the proper spot on the hitch still at 20" of extension. Should be ok there.
I'm thinking it's not the extensions that could fail so much as the welds on the hitch/receiver on the truck , due to the increased lever arm of the longer extension.
Guess I've done all I can at this point short of welding a new tongue on.
