Looking for some advice. Just purchased a TC. It overhangs my F350 by about 2.5 ft. I plan tow my boat behind the TC. I need an extension hitch of about 32 inches to clear the camper. I have a 2 inch receiver. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a 32 inch hitch extension with a 2 inch receiver? I found one that has a 2.5 inch receiver. Is it possible to use a 2 inch to 2.5 inch adapter then attach the extension bar to the 2.5 receiver?
I'd like to avoid purchasing the Super Hitch if possible but also want to tow safely. Any help would be appreciated. |

If not, Then you could have a local welding shop make you one. I own a welding shop. . . I'm working on a Website so I can sell stuff online. I make my own extension hitches and I can make any length. Here's a picture of one that I built and use so I can pull a pontoon when I have my camper in my truck. . . This hitch is 28" long.  -------------------- . . . .

How much tongue weight do you typically seen when you tow your boat? Wondering about longevity too, so maybe you can comment on that since it's been a while since this was posted. I want to buy an extension for my setup, but I don't think I need the high dollar Torklift setup since I would be hauling a 6x12 open trailer with a four wheeler on it. Thanks - Tim |
