Looking around for a more solid hitch than the fixed style hitches that bolt to the rear bumper and under the spare tire well. I want it to be a receiver style....not a fixed style shin buster

I put a hitch on my CD that I got from another car. It is the receiver type that bolts in 3 places- 2 bolts underside of bumper, 2 bolts horizontally into vertical part of spare tire well, and 2 bolts vertically into bottom of spare tire well. It is very strong, and looks to be home made. It is very nicely done, and works great for pulling a small trailer (I towed a 4X8 with a grand piano for 200 miles)......Rich
