[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 68392, member: 148"] If you use the extension and need to add chain how about using a bungee cord to take up the slack? Chains won't drag and bungee will stretch to allow for turns. Personally I would go with the shortest extension you can get away with because of Abbe or Sine Error. What I mean by that is, a degree of error measured close in is a small distance from true. But when you extend that 1 degree of error further out you end up further from center. The inherant play in the extension will transmit this error to your trailer allowing it to sway back and forth more. [/QUOTE]
