Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Curt Combo Bar with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Combo Bar with the 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver. This is in a raw finish, and it's 48" long. Now this raw steel hitch receiver is made from steel for maximum strength. It can be used to extend the reach of your receiver, or to create a piece of custom towing equipment. The receiver bar is sized and punched to fit all the common weight distribution hitch ball mounts or utility ball mounts.If you notice on the end right here, it has a forged 1/2" reinforcing collar for increased strength. The tube is crafted with a raw finish so it's ideal for welding.
Also if you notice, they do have a pre-drilled 5/8" diameter hitch pin hole for your pinning clip to go through. This part is made in the U.S.A.Specs on this, we're going to measure the overall length. From the very end to the other end is 48" long. The width of it is 2-1/2" by 2-1/2". The receiver opening is going to be 2" by 2", so it will accept any 2" by 2" ball mount shank.
And the weight on it is going to be right at about 29 pounds.But that should do it for the review on the Curt Combo Bar with the 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver in a raw finish, 48" long.

Well, it is steel. Looks like good steel. Curt made/marketed steel. If you need it, looks like a good price and free shipping. Full length receiver tubing doesn't appear to be on [online vendor] so this is a good source.

Good product, delivered as promised, no wait. A little confusion on the size, was hoping it would fit into existing receiver and extend it by 48", not an adapter, as expected, but I can find the 2" piece necessary to make it work. Otherwise, good quality, plenty strong, will do as promised, no complaints

I have a Billy Goat Leaf Loader swing away hitch mount but it didn't come with a hitch to pull a trailer I have a 4x8 open trailer (2000 lb max). So I decided to weld a hitch to it. I also used 1/4 inch thick metal to reinforce the hitch and used etrailer's Safety Chain Loop for Hitch Receivers. I used mig welder with 120amps and had to make extra beads, 3 to 4 beads in some spots i primed it and painted it works great! Thank You etrailer!!!

I bought two of these to make a hitch holder for the bed of my truck. This is a quality product. The bare metal was covered in plastic and had very little if any rust on it which cut prep time down prior to welding. I like the design of this product in that it includes the rounded lip on the front of the product which helps inserting hevy hitch stingers. The actual product I received has a mild steel lip on it rather than the apparent hardened steel in the product photo, but it works the same notheless. The steel welded well and I have since order an additional receiver for another project. For the price it can't be beat.

Thanks for the check in. I will continue to purchase items from eTrailer if not for any other reason than the tremendous service. The how-to videos take the trepidation out of the on-line purchase because thebuyer gets to see the product in action. There has always been quick shipping and great follow up.

These seem to be well made and easy to work with. I used two of them to make custom leveler mounts on a trailer I was building. They were lightly oiled, and free of rust, making for clean welding.
There is absolutely nothing I can complain about with them. They were exactly what I was looking for, and needed no modifications to accept 2" tube and pins.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Hitch Fabrication Parts
- Availability of Longer Hitch Extender for Help Backing Jet Ski Trailer into WaterThe # C49480 isn't a hitch extender. It's actually just a 48 inch long hitch tube for fabrication purposes. If you had a 2-1/2 inch hitch the Reese extender part # RP45292 is 34 inches long and might work well for you.
view full answer... - Wall Thickness of Tow Ready Combo Bar 80948 and Curt Combo Bar C49480I went to our warehouse to measure the actual wall thickness of the Tow Ready Combo Bar # 80948 and the similar Curt # C49480, both of which are 48-inches long with a raw finish. With a digital caliper I measured the wall thickness of the Tow Ready combo bar as 0.20 to 0.21-inches and the Curt was the same. Since these items are not machined there may be some slight unit to unit variances, especially if you are talking about thousandths of an inch. On the receiver end of these bars there...
view full answer... - Is there a Curt Solid Steel 2" Hitch Bar with Raw Finish in 30" Length?We do have some hitch bars but unfortunately, we do not have any stolid steel 2" hitch bars in a 30" length. The longest one we have is the # D36 you were looking at, which is a 24" length. We do have an Unfinished Receiver Tube # C49480 that is longer, but it is 48" so you would have to cut it down. I also included a link to our full selection of hitch fabrication parts for you to look for the best solution for your application.
view full answer... - What is the Wall Thickness of Curt 12Yes, the # C49480 combo bar would accept a ball mount or accessory with a standard 2 inch shank. The outer diameter of the tubing would be 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches, with a wall thickness of a little under 1/4 of an inch.
view full answer... - Does the Curt Combo Bar # C49480 have a Weight CapacityOfficially, Curt combo bar # C49480 doesn't have a capacity. Curt uses this bar when they build hitches rated up to 17,000 pounds. However, it depends on how it is integrated into the rest of the hitch, what it is going on, and how it and the whole assembly fabricated for it are attached.
view full answer... - Product Comparison Between the Curt and Tow Ready Combo BarsBesides the price difference the only real other difference is that the # C49480 and the # 80948 are made by separate companies. The Curt combo bar is # C49480 and the Tow Ready combo bar is # 80948. Tow Ready is a brand that is owned by a larger parent company named Cequent. These companies compete with each other in the trailering market so it isn't uncommon to see two similar parts with different pricing. To answer your question, some customers prefer one brand name over the other...
view full answer... - Will Curt Combo Bar With 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit Inside 2-1/2" ReceiverI went out to our warehouse and measured the Curt Combo Bar with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - 48" Long - Unpainted # C49480. It is exactly 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" so it will not fit in your receiver. I'm not 100% sure what you were going to use this for, but if you are looking for a 2-1/2" receiver extension I recommend checking out the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048.
view full answer... - Why Doesn't the Curt Combo Bar with 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49480 Have a Weight CapacityThe Curt Combo Bar with 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49480 does not carry a specific tongue weight or towing capacity because these ratings are entirely dependent on the specific installation. The surfaces it is welded to and the manner of installation will be the determining factors in its actual capacity. I verified with Curt that this item carries no specific ratings since it is a general-purpose item.
view full answer... - Hitch Fabrication Bar That Can be Welded for 2004 Dodge Ram We do have weldable trailer hitch receivers for your 2004 Dodge Ram. The longest one is going to be 48 inches, and you can use either the Tow Ready Combo Bar with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # 80948 or Curt Combo Bar with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49480. These hitches do not have any specific weight ratings because ratings are dependent on the entire fabrication and install. I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at of both hitches.
