The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 that you referenced is designed to be installed on a 3 inch by 3 inch trailer tongue to allow it to be folded away.

If you wanted to make an extension for your trailer you would need to find a section of 3 inch by 3 inch pipe, remove your trailer's current coupler, install the # FHDPB330301 in place of it, and then attach the coupler to the section of 3 inch by 3 inch square pipe you bought, and then install the piece with the coupler to the open end of the # FHDPB330301.

I attached an install video plus a chart that shows the capacities for this when used with differing lengths of pivot tube.
