Hitch extension

You'll have to consider the length of your trailer plug and safety chains also.

Yes, I was thinking of that as well.

I'll be at my trailer with my truck today, so I'll know for sure if I need anything.

Well, I don't know what I was worried about. I backed up to my trailer and it looks like it'll be just fine, so I guess I'll just be cautious until I get used to it.

That's what I thought. Now there's an 18"rip in the corner of my enclosed that looks suspiciously like the corner of my sled deck will nicely fit into.

It all depends on your tongue weight. Anything under 4-500lbs I wouldn't worry about it. A friend of mine uses a hollow one to pull his camper at 500lbs and hasn't had an issue. Class III receiver. Over that though I'd use caution as mentioned above.

My truck when I bought it it had 2 hitches. The factory one and an aftermarket one lower. The only reason I can think of why someone would do this is for a long extension for a heavy trailer.

As for the extension made of solid steel that is not a good idea! Solid bends way easier then a heavy wall tubing! If you want I will weld you up what you want for cheap!

Did you by chance own a 4th Gen dodge with the double receiver?
