• Availability of Longer Hitch Extender for Help Backing Jet Ski Trailer into Water
  The # 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.

• Wall Thickness of Tow Ready Combo Bar 80948 and Curt Combo Bar C49480
  I 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...

• Product Comparison Between the Curt and Tow Ready Combo Bars
  Besides 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.

• Will Curt Combo Bar With 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit Inside 2-1/2" 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.

• 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.

• Does the Curt Combo Bar # C49480 have a Weight Capacity
  Officially, 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.

• 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.

• Why Doesn't the Curt Combo Bar with 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49480 Have a Weight Capacity
  The 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.
