Hey Blake, welcome back. The 18" Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C49511 is made of 1/4" thick steel. It does not have a weight rating. This is an unfinished 2-1/2" hitch receiver is designed for fabrication so the weight rating is going to be determined by how it's welded up and what you're installing it on. Class V 2-1/2" receivers can go up to 20,000 lbs in capacity.
What are your plans with the unfinished receiver?

I purchased this receiver and welded it to build a strong trailer hitch on a 550 to pull a backhoe. It looks well made except I did not like the stitch weld on the reinforced end that came on the receiver so I did a continuous weld all the way around that part. I plan on buying another one for our next truck in our fleet we are building.
