Changing to Heavier Duty hitch receiver

[Cowpie]

Well, it is a 6200 lb rated rear axle.  I put Sumosprings on it some time ago for more stability when hauling those really heavy loads.  I am not really trying to put 2K on the hitch or desiring to.  It is having a hitch that is more capable and offers better structural support for those times when landing up a dump trailer it cannot be avoided going over the 1500 lb stock tongue rating.  And also a more durable hitch when pulling those heavy loads off road.   I have every intention of staying within the 13K max tow rating.  It is the tongue rating that is problematic.  1500 lb tongue rating is reached with only 11% of a 13K trailer.  It is just not practical to always keep tongue weights EXACTLY at 10-11% of the load with a dump trailer.  One is bound to go over 11% occasionally even when trying not to.

Upgrade to that hitch then. Although it is a 2 and 1/2" receiver. 

Here is one for the 6' bed with a 2" receiver.

Check out what they have and you can find something you want. Should be an easy installation.

That one at Etrailer is the one I had targeted.  Yeah, I want a 2.5 receiver, as that is what the OEM one on my 2500 is and I already have ball mounts for.
