Does anyone know where I can get a swing tongue kit for a 4x6 tongue?

Looks good. Is that 4x5? Only thing I can find is 3x5. Do you have a link to it?

What about calling Extreme or Adrenaline and see what they offer or better yet see about them taking in the job, just one of those insurance type reasonings why i personally, and i can weld good, would still rather let the pros do.

We called Extreme. I will call Adrenaline tomorrow. If I lived closer I would definitely take it to one of them.

I bought a piece of tubing from IMS in riverside. I found the hitch on eBay. Fulton has them back ordered last I checked. Yes it’s a 3x5 deal. I was mistaken on the 4x5.

Call Shadow trailers. They sell some premade swing kits. Otherwise they or Extreme could fab it up for you. How big/heavy is the boat that it has a 4x6 tongue?
I called Shadow. Great customer service but they were unable to come up with one. They also said they would need the trailer to fab up one, I live in Ohio. I have a local guy that can fab one up, we was trying to find a kit already made up. Found them already made up for a 3x5.

Damn that’s some crazy big tubing for a 27 speedster. Must be a beefy trailer. One thing to keep in mind is the length of tongue past the swing pivot point. Longer the tongue, more stress on that swing away, so keep it as short as you can. This is from the 3x5 Fulton kit:

Don't take it to extreme, I had them dooooo one for me, and they fucked it up, should have done it my self but i was lazy, ended up cutting it all apart and replacing the vertical tubes as they used thin wall tube, the invoice listed 3/4 in bolts and i had 5/8 in bolts it had 3/4 bolts when i was done, the pictures are the work i did

I did my 4x6 two years ago on my Lavey 26. No kit available, I bought the plates from Adrenaline and the new actuator from Pacific Trailers, then started cutting! Been towing from Salt Lake City to Havasu and Powell since, it’s been great.

Thats a super nice job! Did you repaint the whole trailer after or were you able to paint match it?

Thanks! I only painted back about 6” beyond the jack and feathered the paint the best I could. I had the paint shop match the color and put into spray cans. The color matches very close.
