Off Topic Re: ball hitch with extra long shank
That was not my choice, I kind of painted myself into corner,
pulling the trailer in with a chain attached to it's side. You can just
see my beard I felt I could now grow, as I no longer had to work with
the public.

Yea I already came across the extended one they offer:
http://www.prolineracks.com/drawbar-ballmount.html
but it's still a bit too short. Suprisingly even at 13" it does not
appear to give up much towing capacity, it's rated at 7500 lbs. tow and
750 lbs tongue which is way more than enough for my needs, so I'm
thinking the little bit more length I need should be ok.
I will probably contact them about a longer one though, since they seem
to be one of the few companies offering an extended draw bar of this
type, and keep looking around for others.
