Does anyone have one of the brackets that slides into your hitch receiver that allows to to haul long items (2 x 4's / drywall, etc)?

I saw a guy loading lumber at Home Depot with one on his truck a while back but I don't know where he bought it. It allowed him to haul some lumber that was about 2 ft. longer than his truck bed (w/ the gate down).

I do a lot of "home improvement" projects and my Screw bed is a bit shorter than my previous truck.

I dug around on the internet awhile back and found a couple of makes:
Hitch Hand ~$200 at http://www.hitchhand.com/
and
extend a truck II ~$120 at http://www.darbyindustries.com/

Don't have either though but thinking of getting one some day. Anyone actually have one?

Try Harbor Freight tools. I remember seeing one on their site around Christmas time that was about $40. I should have bought one, but I have been to busy to spend the time trying to find it to get it. If you get it, let us know how it works, I would be really interested as to how the thing holds up and performs!

Doesn't seem to extend the bed nearly as much as the other two. Much cheaper though.
