Hey Colin! I reached out to Swing King and they said the trailer tongue will slide in approximately 3-1/2" on either side on the # TD88FR. With an overall length of 18-1/4" you're adding about 11-1/4" to the tongue. I went ahead and attached a chart below showing max pivot length based on trailer/tongue weight for your reference as well.

Hey Colin, did the information from Swing King help you determine the extra length added to your trailer tongue? I'm asking because it could help others who are trying to figure out the same thing.
