Hey Eric, so you already have a hitch and you want to change it out with another 2" hitch? If that's the case, then you can use the TorkLift SuperHitch Hero Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1005H, which will replace your current one, has a 2" receiver as well, and has a nice 8,000 lb towing capacity.
This hitch will directly take the place of your current one so it'll work great with your exisiting wiring harness. If you need anything else, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
