Is There a 2-1/2" Hitch Extension At Least 14" Long For Towing a 7,500LB Trailer?  

Question:

I’m looking for a 2.5” hitch extension that is around 14” long and has a 2.5” opening to but a ball in. I need to leave the tailgate down on my 3500 ram truck and tow a livin lite toy hauler at the same time. Trailer only weighs 7,500 lbs with a tongue weight of about 750lbs. I only need to use it once a year and will only be moving the trailer 39 miles so I don’t really what to replace the factory hitch and do a major upgrade. Is there anything that you can suggest? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me I greatly appreciate it!

The Curt Extension # C45048 is going to be the closest we have. While this fits a 2-1/2" receiver it only has a 2" opening and is 34" long or can be cut down to 24". To tow your 7,500lb trailer you would have to cut it to the 24" length and also have a Weight Distribution Hitch # FA92-00-0800 and a Wiring Extension # TLW6024.
