Mike:

I think that when under load all extensions bend.  Maybe your bending is
excessive?  

Go buy a piece of I beam long enough to reach from trailer hitch to
somewhere back on trailer that allows for physical attachment to main
trailer chassis.  Get about four large U-bolts with cross pieces and bolt
the whole thing to extended extension and actual trailer chassis.  Just like
you were sistering a plank supporting a house?  I guess you could even use a
wood 4 x 4 about 12 feet long and make it work for the occasion.  But that
might be too thick to get down a ramp.

Locate a steep ramp that does not require extension.  When lake level is up
here at Hartwell there are many that you do not need extensions on.

terminal, you deprive it of oxygen, and the metal is more prone to
corrosion.”  Bill Seifert
