Most accessories use a 2" receiver. My design will be "knock down", and will be easily shippable. It will also have a 2" receiver tube. I am sure the reason why a 2" receiver is not available, is because of the chance of overloading it (liability). Even though there are adapters, having a 2" receiver is much more convenient. This project has been on my mind for sometime, and I need to get started on it soon. The weather has slowed me down, but it will warm up soon and I can get some of the projects started/finished that I have been putting off!

I wish I had taken pics of the install but it never crossed my mind. It was for a single axle U HAUL trailer that I hauled my Cub Cadet lawn tractor to Texas enclosed. I'm sure it ran #2,500 or so. I was fortunate the 1,000 mile trip went safely. The hitch ball and install ran about $125.00 as I recall.
