Angled trailer tongues

I have noticed looking through others designs that some of the trailer tongues are bent up to allow for attachment to a taller TV. Does anyone know where to get one of those bent tongues?
Thanks,
Wes

drop hitch??

wouldnt it be just as easy to get a drawbar(ball mount) with a drop in it??

if not...fabricate it into the trailer build...unless trailer is already built??

Wes, if you mean the drawbar(part with ball on it), you can find different heights at WalMart(usuallY) you can also go to any truck/trailer accessory store and find 'em...if you have a U-Haul Company Store, a tractor Supply...etc they should have several different choices as well...if you actually meant the tongue, that has to be built into the frame design...not an off the shelf part ;)

The way I read his post. He's most likely talking about the way the KIT's tongue bends upward. :thinking:

Harbor Freight sells a hydraulic pipe bender, for bending those classic round tubular tongues 8)

I haven't seen a manufactured tongue kit or frame for sale with an upward curve in it, but I've made my own and stacked some 2x3 rec. tube on the coupler end to get more height. I'd imagine that you could have one rolled for you, but like previously mentioned, there are less expensive methods to achieve what you want. Doug
