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.

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…

The Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube #337RT25848B is a receiver tube and not an extension. It will not be able to slide into each other as the tubing is 2"x2" square tubing the entire 4' length. You would be able to connect these…
