Which hitch mounted bed extender do you use?
Im not talking about the cage style that stays in the bed and flips out to your tailgate, I am talking about the kind that goes into the hitch and allows you to carry a kayak or really long lumber.
I picked up 2 2x12x12s at the store the other day and I got them strapped in fine, but man, one of those bed extenders would have given me a little more peace of mind.
Do you guys recommend any brands? I am looking at 2 on amazon right now.

TMS:
Ive also seen harbor freight has one.
This is for occasional hauling of lumber. I do like the idea of it folding flat and storing it in the bed so its always ready to go.
The above seem very well reviewed, but one has a flat surface with strap hooks and the other has the U-shaped surface for things to sit in between.

I bought this for the occasional hauling of lumber:
Can't really give you any reviews on it yet as I'll probably be using it for the first time next weekend. I pretty much relied on the reviews on amazon and the Lund name for my decision. It is also the kind that can be configured vertically for kayaks/lumber resting on the cab roof with an additional roof rack (although the pics on Amazon don't show it).

The Harbor Freight one has pretty good reviews.

I don't have one, but if it's something that I wouldn't use that often, I'd take a look at this for $69 (before the coupons/etc).
