[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 688909, member: 969"] Sounds like I'd need to find the truck and trailer and then do a lot of measuring to figure out the best deal. It seems to me that most of the additional stress from the extender is going to come from tongue weight. The pull and push is still going to be at the same spot on the trailer, but down pressure will also try to bend the trailer side of the hitch instead of pushing straight down on the ball. My understanding is that moving the ball back takes away some of the stability advantage of a gooseneck. [/QUOTE]
