Use a piece of reciever tube for the tounge I used a 4'-0" piece. Weld your coupler to a 2" sq X 4'-0" piece and slide it into the reciver tube drill holes at different locations for the desiered length.
I just bought this one HVLP TECHLINE Spray Gun I have not used it yet, but from the research I have done this is one of the best low priced guns you can buy.

2" LH Clear
2" RH Clear
+ 39" Frame...
