Hi Zachary,
There are a couple options for a 2-1/2" weld-on hitch for a school bus. Both are for frames from a minimum of 18" to a maximum of 44" and the right one depends on the amount of drop you need. The drop will be from the frame of the vehicle so you can use either depending on that:
- 9" Drop: Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C37CR
- 18" Drop: Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C87CR
