When using the Curt hitch extension part # C45048 that you referenced at the 34 inch length to pick the correct Torklift 7-way extension really depends on the length of the 7-way harness on your trailer. If it's one that would be pulled tight if it was extended at all past the coupler then I'd recommend going with the longer version part # TLW6036. If your trailer has a connector that has more than enough length you'd want the shorter version part # TLW6028.
Basically you want to make sure you have enough slack so that the connectors do not unplug but not so much that it's hard to keep the harness from dragging.
If you were using it for some reason at the 24 inch length the 21 inch part # TLW6021 would be a great choice.
