I am going to use a short extension with load leveling hitch or maybe the Alumistinger. The problem has to be addressed right at the hitch so I can tow any trailer as I normally should be able to do.

Using an extension shouldn't be a concern for trailers under 5K #s.

You should be fine here. Stay away from the extensions the dealerships sell though, as they are not rated very high. They have a 7" model that is designed to go in the front receiver, basically for carrying bikes rack and the like. That is why I went with the one listed above, it is rated for higher capacity. Be prepared to extend the safety chains also, and maybe the electrical connection.
