Trailer Extension?

it can be done..but..its not for anyone without serious experience to do..a trailers build is actually a very well thought out process to arrive at a trailer that will haul its intended load safely and reliably...what kind of trailer,whats its factory sizing(including frame dimensions and weight rating), and what are you trying to haul with it?..most common way to do it is to remove the tongue, add new frame rails under the existing rails from the axles forward, while extending the bed to the legth you need(which may result in moving axles,adding axles)..it can be done for sure..but it needs to be very very well thought out....
if you extend it, cut the tongue off, add new rails under the old ones and extend it out the frt..then add a second axle in frt of the old one..(1 axle would be maxed with 3 sleds on it, and would be constant issues towing...2 axles will carry it no problem)done right it will work fine and be stronger then it was stock....
Agreed for the price of the parts and time to do it. Just sell the two place and buy a 3-place. I just sold my 3-place open for $1,300.00. You should be able to get a 1,000.00 for your.
