Ball Mount Recommendation that is Around 8 inches In Length for Hitch Extender
Question:
I have a torque lift receiver hitch with a 36inch stinger so that I can tow my boat with my camper. I recently purchased a newer camper that is slightly longer and the stinger is 8inch too short. I see that you sell the hollow tube 9.5inch hitch. Do you sell any hitches that are solid tube. I concerned about the amount of torque and weight approx 600lbs tongue weight that would be applied to this extended hitch.

The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC2 would work for you if you just need a ball mount that is 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. The added leverage of the overall length that you mentioned would end up on the hitch and not this ball mount so the ball mount would be fine and would not need to be worried about as it has 10,000 lbs of tongue weight capacity and you need at least 600 lbs. We do not have a version of this that has a solid tube.
