Depending on what truck you have the only extenders we have that would work for your 7,000 pound horse trailer would be The TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension # TLE1524.

This extender is 24 inches long and has a sturdy steel construction that has a black powder coat finish that helps resist corrosion. For this to work though I will need to know the year make and model of your truck. You will have to either install The TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1002 or The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1002-30 on your truck to get the Hitch extension # TLE1524 to work. When using either of the hitches above the hitch extension can tow up to 7,500 pounds.

The Curt Extender for 2 inch Hitch Receivers # C45796 can only tow up to 3,500 pounds and using this hitch extender will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50%.

Please reach back out to me with the year make and model of your truck and I can put a list of items together that you will need.
