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.
