Hey Keith, how much of an extension do you need? Another option might be a ball mount that is longer overall than what you have but to pick that out I would need to know the drop of your current ball mount as well as the length you have now and how much further out you need it to go and we can go from there.

I need about 6", 20,000lb capacity. I don't want to go with a new ball mount. At that weight capacity they are quite spendy
