Thanks for reaching out. The Buyers Products Weld-On Pintle Hitch Plate # 3371809040 is the best fit for your application. The plate measures 34-5/8 inches wide, giving you enough material to fit your 32-inch frame rail spacing and weld it directly to your 5-inch channel frame.

For the 2-1/2 inch receiver, add the Buyers Products 2-1/2" Hitch Receiver Tube # BP82FR to the plate. That combination gives you a clean, heavy-duty installation with the receiver positioned exactly where you want it. It's a solid setup for a custom weld-on hitch.

What vehicle are you adding it to? What will you be hauling?
