It went well. The extension is rated for 10,000 lb and will give me the space I need to have my 4 wheeler in the back of my truck and pull my travel trailer with the tail gate down for the hunting seasons. With the hitch extension you need chain and electrical cord extensions as well.

I just wanted to give you a heads up that using the # BX88264 Blue Ox Extender or any hitch extender, for that matter will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch receiver by 50 percent. Using an extender moves the downward force exerted on the hitch accessory further away from the hitch itself, which exerts additional stress upon the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle, which can cause the hitch to fail. Which would be bad.
