: Wanting to build pulling hitch

Does anyone have plans or a place that I can buy the parts to make an adjustable pulling hitch? I seem to recall a post some where on the board saying a member bought the ring as well as the channel with the holes in it at a camper parts store but I'm not 100 percent correct.

I would also like to build some rear suspension stops as well. I have a plan in my head. Take a piece of flat stock say 3/16 or 1/4 thick x the highth of the frame. Then weld a piece of square tubing to that plate. Bolt the plate to the frame. Find another piece of tubing that will slide inside that tubing. Drill holes for a pin to slide through to make it adjustable. Sound like it will work? How big of tubing should I use? 2x2? Open to suggestions here.

easternmarine.com If you use that hitch though you need to add 2 gussets below the ring. You will crack it...trust me!

I can vouch for tonys products.. I run both the adjustable blocks and the hitch, top notch and worth the money..
