Well...at least you know you would be seriously overloading it. Hitch manufacturers say extending your hitch will reduce it's capacity by 50%. The hitch is rated at 4 inches rearward of the outer face plate of the 4" square receiver tube. 100% of what you want to do falls in the category of "hitch weight". You have answered your own question. I would take it to a very qualified welder service (not Bubba with his Harbor Freight welder and orange extension cord in the truck of his Camaro) and see what they can do to beef it up. The weakest link in these hitches seem to be where and how the hitch assembly is mounted to the frame of the MH's.
