Thanks for reaching out Gary, here's what I came up with.

I did some searching to find that we do not carry a hitch extension in our inventory that covers the length of 18" and weight capacity of 6000 lbs. Keep in mind, using this extension will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent.

Gen-Y hitch extender # gy89sr for a 2" hitch extends 14" and has a weight capacity of 10,000 lbs. This was one of the options that was closest to the length and the weight capacity needed.

What are you towing, and what clearance need has you choosing 18 inches?
