Would the 5" wide forks fit with 5" extensions? I have forks that are 5" wide, 2" thick, and 48" long, and I want 72" extensions. What do you recommend?

We recommend the Vestil FE-5-72 Fork Extensions. This model has a usable width of up to 5 1/2" and is designed to fit forks that are up to 5 inches wide and 2 inches thick. Since your forks are 5 inches wide and 2 inches thick, these extensions will fit securely, as they will fit up to a 5 ½ in wide fork. See attached drawing.
