I've found some information here, but not specifically what I require.
My truck tailgate cannot open as it will hit the trailer winch post, therefore I would like to extend the tongue with maybe a swing hinge.
What are the pro's & con's of lengthening the tongue?
Do I need to move the trailer axle forward?
How will the additional length change trailering, control, sway and backing?
Any other considerations?
etc etc....
My 1996 17.5 ft Crestliner Sportfish fits nicely on the roller trailer and it tows well. If lengthening the tongue has adverse effects, I will not make any changes.
Your advice and thoughts????
