Tim as Hank notes, my extension is square mechanical tubing.  I have a 5/8” rod that is threaded on both ends.  On end opposite the hitch, it is secured by bolts on both sides of welded tab.  On the inner square tubing that slides out I welded a square plate with a hole .  The rod extended through this had double nuts that prevent the extended tube from extending to far.

Hank and Cliff,

 

During the Flathead Lake expedition I took notice of your varying telescoping extensions on your trailers.  

 

Hank, your extension appears to ride along the top of the centre rail. What method have you incorporated to ensure the extension stays aligned during extension and retraction?

 

Cliff, your extension appeared to be within the center rail. How did you install a stop to ensure that the extension could not be pulled right out of the rail?

 

Thanks, guys.

 

Tim
