Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to an extension apparatus and method for attaching to a trailer tongue having a trailer hitch defining a first plane. The apparatus comprises a suspension bar defining a second plane and has a proximal end and a distal end, a ball adapted to be removably received in the trailer hitch and positioned between the suspension bar proximal and distal ends and a block positioned on the suspension bar distal end. A first extension portion defines a third plane and has a proximal end and a distal end, the first extension portion proximal end defines an opening adapted to removably receive the block, and the first extension distal end having a trailer hitch adapted to removably engage a ball on a vehicle. A permanent receiver mount is adapted to removably engage at least one of the trailer tongue and the suspension bar.
