Question:

I have an Wolfpack 850, the steps pull down. Should I measure to the end of the steps after pull down, or to the end of bumper before steps are down? Thx

I would measure both. First measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the trailer hitch receiver to the edge of the bumper, and then to the edge of the steps.

While you are not going to be towing with the steps down, you do want to make sure you will be able to lower them with the trailer still attached or your will need to unhook the trailer before getting in the camper.

If the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension - 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch - 36" Long # TLE1636 for your 2021 Ford F-350 is not long enough then we have the 48" version # TLE1648.

Keep in mind that with the # TLE1636 you are limited to 360lbs tongue weight and 3600lb trailer weight, or 720lbs tongue weight and 7200lb trailer weight if you use a weight distribution hitch, and with the # TLE1648 you are limited to 300lbs tongue weight and 3000lb trailer weight rating or 600lb tongue weight and 6000lb trailer weight with a weight distribution hitch.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
