Trailer problems with Rear Tire Carrier?

[PARAGON]

get a 14" shank alumistinger with a 8" drop

puts the ball out just past halfway of my 37x12.50 MT/R spare and I only can't jack-knife it hard with most trailers due to the jack.

You can see how close the jack is here with my 18' enclosed, but it pulls fine and I don't have any problems except for not being able to open the rear hatch.

With my other trailers I can cut it just right to where I can open the spare tire carrier enough to open the rear hatch.

It's not the drop that's the problem, it's the location of the trailer jack where it hits the spare tire. Paragon knows what I mean and posted a pic showing how he deals with it.

Prior to Paragon posting his pic, I thought I was going to have to get a 12" extension tube. After seeing his pic, I think the Alumistinger will work or maybe the Hummer OEM extension tube which is only a 6.5" extension.

Paragon, any way you can measure center of that trailer ball hole in trailer to forward part of trailer jack? My trailer is currently out on my deer lease and can't get to it to measure it.

I have a 10" wide wheel & 13.5" tire on the rear as a spare, so this will give me an idea of haw far I need to extend the ball outward.
