Default lippert 1621 extended box?

is there an extended pinbox that fits the 1621 mount like other mounts? mine currently is 17.75" from front bolts to pin center. other models offer a 20" bolt to pin measurement. not really interested in a sidewinder or autoslide. my truck is a 13 f350 ccsb and i am running a demco hijacker hitch.

Thats already a lot of extension. If you go further, you risk breaking your forward trailer frame. The greater the extension, the greater the twisting force applied to the mounting wings. Personally I wouldn't do it. Lippert frames already have enough breakage issues, they don't need any more help.
How far can you presently turn before cab contact? My last SD was a CCSB and I put a manual slider in due to concerns with cab contact. A full-lock turn left me room to spare (without moving the hitch) but I was still concerned. We ended up going to Alaska and never slid it once.

I agree with PerryB. Don't try to extend it. Lippert is known for broken frames and cracked welds
