Hi, for only 3-500 lbs of tongue weight you will be good. The 48" Torklift extension is good for up to 600 lbs without weight dist.
I would not exaggerate it.
I had aluminum dually with 12' TC on it without modification and with camper only rear still was 2" higher than front.
But when I put 48" stinger on it and hook my 3500lb boat, even with tongue in the range of 300 lb, I was scratching driveways with end of the stringer.
Mind my stinger is straight 3" tubing mounted in factory receiver.
Torklift Supertrust add 2nd beam below, so additional 3" drop.
I towed this for 1100 miles on a 42" stinger (7,200lbs), truck never knew it was there. No adverse handling and I was in 60mph gusts for 60 miles at one point.
I did tow with 48" stinger, but 3500 lb boat, so that's different story.
When you have 7500lb cargo trailer adjusted for 300 lb tongue weight - the trailer will be prone to fishtailing and you can find 100's youtube videos how it ends.
The final outcome depends on trailer shapes (boat do much better), axle design (torsion axles are better) and other factors as well.
Now if you managed to do it for over 10 years without accident, I want to see a picture of the set.
HERE IS DEMONSTRATION
