Equalizer - Is there a hitch extender that I can use with my attachment or is it just the 18inch Equalizer hitch. trying to get about 24 inches so I can put my tailgate down for golf cart. Camper tongue weight is 850 and cart is 900 lbs. Im driving a 2018 ram 2500.

Expert Reply:
I assume you have an Equal-i-zer weight distribution shank with your 2018 Ram 2500. If so, then the 18" Equal-i-zer weight distribution shank # EQ90-02-4600 will work for you. There are hitch extenders available but they reduce the weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent which is something that will likely not work for you.
