Class V hitch
Anyone know where I can find one with a 2" receiver?
And no, I do not want the Curt 15300 with the small 11.5" mounting.
I want the one that goes 18" on the frame
This is what I am looking for

Just bumping this up.
I forgot I had a Drawtite 41904 hitch from a truck I parted out. Class V. 10k pull and 12k with weight distributing. Also has a 2x2 receiver tube.
Gave it a quick grind down with a wire wheel and flap wheel and a coat of rustolium. I will redo it when I tear the truck down.

I scored one of those at the local scrap metal place about two years ago. $20 and some elbow grease and it looks great. Haven't gotten around to mounting it yet though.
FYI, Draw Tite will send you new decals for free if you email them with the hitch part number.

Seems like their refusal to provide replacement stickers when requested could open them up to liability in the event of overloading.

yeah I tried this week
"Actually that should be the 41904. Instructions are attached. Labels are not available."
No, that is up to the end use to find out what it is rated for. Not just load it up till it brakes then sue

It is WAY too short. It only bolts to 7" of the truck frame. The drawtite bolts to 18". The Curt is rated for more, but I really don't care if it was rated for 30k, it will never go on any of my truck that tow. They are just looking to bend a truck frame

Brad,id really have to think i was doing something far beyond what i should be doing with the truck to bend the frame at the hitch.
