Helpful Expert Reply:
The longest option is going to be the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender for 2" Hitches # MPG907, which has a 53" length from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point on the extender. This extender comes with a 375lb load capacity but you'll still want to verify the tongue weight capacity of your truck's hitch.
Since you're wanting maximum length I recommend also picking up the Erickson Mesh Safety Flag w/ Bungee Cord # EM05308 as there typically are local or state laws about placing some sort of signal flag for items extending a specific range past the bed of the truck.
Another item you might be interested in is the optional roller # MAL52VR, which can make loading and unloading your cargo easier.
