[QUOTE="fish18, post: 80761, member: 1020"] I had an extension for my trailer built and installed at a trick truck place that sells hitches ect. What we did was take the ball reciever off and slide another piece of square steel inside the original square steel. Roughly 4 ft went inside, and ran a huge bolt thru at about 3.5 ft near the end. We used two bolts right before the seam met then welded the overlapping seam. Outside piece extended 2ft. Drilled holes for the chains and trailer wiring and reattached the reciever, winch holder,and jack. Back in the day this cost me $35.00. This is over 20 years old and never a problem. [/QUOTE]
