Extend the top receiver on your TorkLift SuperHitch dual-receiver trailer hitch to clear obstacles such as your bed-mounted camper. Exclusive, heavy-duty design maintains a high weight capacity and can be used with a weight distribution system.

Specs:
This SuperTruss hitch extender is specially designed to work with your SuperHitch trailer hitch (sold separately). Like most products from TorkLift, the primary purpose of this extender is to help create a towing setup that fits perfectly with your truck bed camper system. Not only will you be able to extend your trailer hitch receiver out far enough to clear the overhang of your camper, but you will also maintain a high enough weight capacity so that you can tow your trailer.
Most hitch extensions dramatically reduce the towing capacity of your hitch setup, making it difficult to tow a loaded trailer over a certain weight. The SuperTruss, though, creates such a sturdy connection with your SuperHitch trailer hitch that you can still maintain a high weight capacity. To get the highest capacity possible, use a standard weight distribution system with the TorkLift towing setup.
The SuperTruss uses both of the receivers on your TorkLift SuperHitch to ensure a sturdy, secure connection. The solid shank of the extension's top tube slides into your top receiver, and the extension's lower compression tube installs in your bottom receiver. Each tube is held in place with the hitch pins and clips that were included with your SuperHitch. The connection between the extension and your hitch is reinforced with 2 sturdy steel collars that bolt around the tubes of the SuperTruss.
To give you absolute peace of mind, lateral support chains connect to the hitch and the extension on either side of your setup. Just attach one end of each chain to the extension and secure the opposite end to your SuperHitch. Then tighten the chains with the integrated turnbuckles. These chains not only provide extra security to keep the extension in place in your hitch, but they also transfer some of the weight back from the extension to your frame-mounted hitch.
If the camper is mounted on the truck:
Measure from the face of the truck's rear bumper to the outside edge of the camper's bumper. This is the length of the extension that you need.
If the camper is not mounted on the truck:
1. Measure from the inside of the front of your truck bed to the outside face of the truck's rear bumper.
2. Measure the camper's overall floor length from the rubber bumpers at the front to the outside edge of the rear bumper.
3. Find the difference between these 2 figures by subtracting. The difference is the length of the extension that you need.

The 4 foot hitch performed great. I bought the extra lenght to get it further behind my truck camper, I have a 3 foot hang over. The only problem was this made my 20 foot welded flat boat catch a lot of wind knocking my fuel milage way down. It also does not let my steps fold down. I should have gone with the 3 foot extension. live and learn.
Wow. Who would have believed I could have my heavy 11.5' Camper (which was well stocked, I should add) and pull a cargo trailer loaded with shop tools, workbench, and hardware. Handled well on highways through mountain passes, etc. Assembly and installation should have been much easier but the poor quality of the photos with the instructions was a bit of an impediment.
This extension is a little difficult to take on and off due to its weight. You Must use the sleve that is included from 2 1/2 to 2". That's the only con to this hitch. Its heavy duty!
Absolutely amazing!!! Love all the products I've purchased from etrailer.
As always.... Customer service is more than 5 star if I could give it.
Definitely a quality product. Just installed and it's very solid. Fits perfectly on the Torque Lift Hitch

Fantastic
I I ordered my product on a Sunday night, the order was immediately pulled and packaged, and on its way to me Monday morning. During the process, I thought I made a mistake with the ordering and helpful individual address my concern and everything was handled extremely professionally. I would do business with these guys again in a heartbeat. So wonderful to know that there are still people out there like this.
Torklift SuperTruss does not disappoint. Straight forward install, though the manual photos are extremely dark. Use the Torklift YouTube install video if needed. The 48” extension gives me the needed length beyond the TC I was looking for while still allowing 1,200 tongue and 12k overall towing capacity.
Fast and exactly as promised.
Will order from them again.

Works great. Completed my dream vehicle. Truck F550 with huge camper, 30,000 Torklift super hitch with 4 ft extension for rear camper overhang, towing a large boat.= 12000 trailer tow capacity. 5 Stars for performing as advertized! Used in conjunction with 1600 equalizer hitch .
Paint issues

Sometimes with these extenders and shipping, they will come a little marked up. I recommend using a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum to touch it up. We will be in contact with you as we can send out a can of paint or give you a credit for paint that you pick up yourself.
So far it's great!! It took me and my buddy about 90 minutes to take off the old hitch on my 2006 Chevy 3500 dually!!! We timed ourselves! It wasn't complicated. We used a floor jack to lift the new hitch into place. All bolt holes matched perfectly. You definitely should use two people to install this thing because if it gets away from you may need to replace some fingers. It's just a heavy piece of equipment. Installing it myself saved me about $600 over having someone else install!!
Super Truss arrived well packaged. Assembly instructions were easy to follow.

Installed this along with the Super Hitch 1 year ago and it works as advertised! The chains could stand to be one link shorter. I just put the clevis screw through the link instead of the clevis and attach to the Super Hitch that way.
Delivered on time, no issues
This Super Truss Hitch is great! super strong! I have a large cab-over camper and pull a 14 ft motorcycle trailer with no issues. the chains and turnbuckles make a big difference in the stability of the hitch.

Outstanding
Replaced a Reese 4508 with this unit. I needed something with a 6k tow capacity. Very well made, I'll be towing a Mazda CX-9 and it's more than secure with this extension.
If towing behind a truck camper this is the only way to go! My wife and Ii were t boned a few years back by a box truck running a red light at highway speed. The 3500 Ram, the truck camper and the trailer were totaled. One jetski suffered $900.00 damage. The Super Truss suffered no damage whatsoever. It took awhile for us to recover but here I am buying another extension, for me it's the only one!
I bought the torklift super hitch a year ago and it works fantastic. I have a lot of torklift products and are the best. I just got back from Oregon pulling my boat works great with no problems would recommend it if pulling a trailer or boat
This is a well built product. I have always felt confident when towing my vehicle behind the camper. I would recommend that the turn buckles for the chains be upgraded.
I bought this after a hair raising trip to Wyoming and back with a Reese Tow Beast hitch extension on the back of my 2011 Ram dually with an Arctic Fox 1140 camper on the back. i had issues all the way up and back with my hitch and met a Gentleman with theTorklift hitch and Super Truss extension and knew that was what I needed.
I have installed but not pulled with it yet, but it is very solid.
Great product. I've been using it to pull my 21ft bass boat all over the country. Absolutely zero problems. I'd also like to mention that it was a pleasure working with etrailer.com, fast delivery of great products!
eTrailer did a great job getting my order to me in a reasonable time and were particularly good at helping me find solutions to items that I had chosen from a vendor that has not been good at supplying in the recent past. Some of my items were factory shipped as I expected.
This extension worked awesome for us. Pulled a loaded two horse trailer.
Good stability from the Super Hitch when pulling my trailer.
A little bit heavy but very strong
