Default Any website with LARGE selection of different trailer hitch adapters?

Ran into a problem trying to tow a small little pop-up camper for the inlaws. The trailer jack hits the spare tire and there were no options except to remove the tire.

I have several different hitches to use in the receiver, so I need either an extension rated for towing or a website that carries different hitches with long tubes to reach out past the spare.

look up alumistinger

they have one with a 14" shank and has 1000lb tongue capacity and it's all alum. It's what I have and the only problem is you can't cut the trailer very hard or the jack will get the tire.

Wow, that Google is cool. Anyone else try it before?

I Googled "Hitch Extensions" and all kinds of stuff came up. Especially on the first link.

Not sure that matters, but I'm no towing expert, because all the extensions I saw said you lose between 1/3 and 1/2 hitch capacity with an extension.

If theres little or no tung weight, why not use the factory extension?
Or you could try this place.

Listed under ball mounts. No capacity is given though.
If you're near Houston, it's close.

I use one of these from Curt Mfg, along with my 8" drop Alumistinger:
