• Recommended Hitch Extender For 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver 7 Inches Long
  
• We don't have a 7 inch extension for your 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver. The closest we have is the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 6" Long # HR26. Since that is a reducer and an inch shorter, it most likely isn't what you need. We have 2-1/2 to 2-1/2 inch extensions, but they are 24 inches long like # C45048. My recommendation is to get the Reese Combo Bar 18" with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # 11029 which is unfinished and can be cut to size and...

• Availability of 2-1/2 Inch Receiver Combo Bar that is Less Than 18 Inches Long
  
• We do indeed have shorter 2-1/2 inch combo bars available than the 18 inch long # 11029 that you referenced. For a 12 inch long bar you can use part # 337RT255812 or for an even shorter 8 inch bar you can use # 337RT255808. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these bars that you can also take a look at.

• What Are the Gross Towing and Tongue Weight Capacities of Curt Combo Bar # E-11
  
• The Curt Combo Bar with 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-11 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 like their 6-inch # E-9 and the Reese # 11029. These items also are not specifically...

• Which Way Should the Holes of the Combo Bar part # 11029 Face When Welded On
  
• The holes that are in the Combo Bar part # 11029 that you referenced are for a hitch pin to fit through. You would want the holes to be on the sides so that a hitch pin would slide through from either left to right or right to left.

• Adding a Receiver to a Hitch Mounted Salt Spreader on a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 with 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
  
• I believe I understand. You want to change the shank on the salt spreader so that it will still fit the trailer hitch but have a receiver on the other end so you can tow with the spreader still in the hitch. You would need combo bar # 11029. Then, if using a 2 inch ball mount, you would need a reducer sleeve, # 58102.
