Question:

i have a chevy silverado 1500 and a 24 foot party barge. I need a long extender just to launch boat because the ramp is shallow. What product would you recommend.

For a 2 inch hitch like what you'd have on your Chevy Silverado 1500 we have an 18 inch long hitch extender part # C45796 which would be a decent option. But you should note that with hitch extenders like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half due to the increased leverage so you'll need to keep that in mind and be sure not to exceed half of the capacity of your trailer hitch.
