Hey Erick, thanks for reaching out!
If you're asking what the overall trailer length will be when using the Malone Retractable Tongue Kit # MPG494 on a LowBed trailer, Malone states that the retractable tongue reduces the trailer length by 61 inches, taking a standard MicroSport trailer from 164 inches down to 103 inches when retracted for storage.
Also, yes the # MPG494 is compatible with the Malone LowBed trailer. It's confirmed it can be installed on the LowBed model, and many have successfully used it to allow vertical storage.
What are you typically hauling?
