M116a3 lunette adjustability ??

[Traveltocamp]

Hey everyone, I’ve searched the forums but can’t find the exact answer I’m looking for. So I figured asking y’all directly would now be best.

My question is, is this lunette adjustable at all? I could use some more toungue length(hahaha) so I was wondering if it could slide out at all?

No. That is a hinge to work the surge brakes. No adjustability

I wonder if there’s a way to replace the lunette with one that has a longer shaft? ��*

I would imagine you could but it would be expensive. Why not use a longer hitch adapter for the pintle(truck side)?

Croft Trailer has adapters that fit inside the ring.
For either a 2” or 2 1/2” ball
That would give you some extra length.
If you need ring as is and just longer, then the above info is worthless.

I have seen longer ones on eBay.
Do not know if they would fit the surge assembly or not.

Gimps receiver suggestion is what most guys do.
Easier and less expensive.

You might post what your trying to accomplish overall.
Lots of guys with real ingenuity here could help.

ive searched all over for a extended hitch like that. 8hole is exactly what I need(anything more will create issues offroad. I wonder where I can find that one

So your looking for plate height, not length? A google search for pintle hitch extender should produce results. I often click on the images search so it will take me to the exact thing I'm looking for.

No sir. I need the length (a longer shank). If I can find exactly what you posted as an actual product then I would be good. Problem is, I’m mounting a slide in bed camper on my m116a3 and I have a feeling that the overhang/bed of the camper might sit to close to the back of my 4runner so I’m trying to find a way to Have the camper sit Further back off the bumper.

I'd just have one made. Keep in mind the longer it is, the more torqe it will see. Here is another option:

The torklift looks like a good option with the added tongue weigh , less likely to twist or bend.

Im
entertaining the idea of the Croft ring to ball coupler adaptor.
