Will TorkLift Rear Tie-Down for 2002 Silverado 2500 With Factory Hitch Fit With Aftermarket Hitch

Question

Question:

Hello, I recently bought torklift camper tie downs and realized that i need a 2 1/2” hitch for a hitch extension to tow with my camper. My stock hitch is only 2”. Will this hitch fit with the rear tie down brackets i already purchased? They are the Torklift TLC3205. If not, is there a 2 1/2” hitch that would fit with those brackets or do i need to buy different rear brackets now? Thank you!

The # TLC3205 you have now is only designed to work with the factory hitch. Whether it is the # DT45517, a Curt hitch, or even a TorkLift hitch you will need a different rear tie-down. The correct rear tie-down for a 2002 Silverado 2500 without a board or step underneath and with a non-Torklift aftermarket hitch would be the # TLR3501.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C15703 hangs pretty low on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500. From the bottom of the bumper to the top of the hitch receiver it is approximately 4 inches. I have included a picture showing the gap. A similar hitch, #C15302,…

Hi Jonathan, Actually, nothing will make the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C15703 not fit your 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD if you remove the factory hitch. If you remove that hitch, you can absolutely install the #C15703.

Ground clearance is generally not a problem on full size trucks like your 2007 Chevy Silverado 3500. With that said the 2-1/2 inch hitches for the truck do hang fairly low. The Draw-Tite hitches #DT45519 and #DT45517 fit a little tighter to the rear…

For an extension as long as you'd need to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed so that you could use the hitch extender part #RP45292 which can be trimmed down to 24 inches. If you were in need of a 2-1/2 inch hitch then you'd need the part…
