Need a Long Shank/Extended length Ball Mount  

Question:

In need this shank but a extended one would work better so I can fold tailgate down while camper is hooked up do you sell one that will fit my needs. Basically to give me more distance between rear of truck and tongue Jack of camper so tailgate will fold down.

The longest we have is the Brophy Ball Mount, # BM20, this has a 3/4" rise & 2" drop and 13-1/4" long.

There is also the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers, # C45796 that is 18" in length. The downside to using a hitch extender of this type is that it will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50%. Depending on what you are hauling this may or may not be an issue.

If you are using a weight distribution system, the above options will not work. You will need to go with something like the TorkLift SuperHitch, # TLF1008-30 and TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension, # TLE1521.
