Nilight Hitch Adapter 2.5" x 10" Trailer Receiver Bar 🚗
Description:
This 2.5" x 10" weld-on trailer receiver tube from Nilight gives a simple way to add a solid hitch point for custom trailer builds and shop projects, combining a standard receiver opening with a raw steel finish ready for welding. It accepts common 2.5 x 2.5 inch shanks and is intended for users fabricating or modifying towing assemblies who need a straightforward, heavy-duty receiver tube.
Key Points
The receiver features an industry-standard internal dimension that fits most 2.5 x 2.5 inch hitch accessories, including ball mounts and hooks. A 5/8 inch pin hole is pre-drilled, which matches typical hitch pin sizes. The unit ships in raw steel so it is prepared for welding directly into a frame or tube assembly, making it useful for custom trailers, shop fixtures, and repair work. Consider that the raw finish will require surface preparation and coating after welding to prevent corrosion.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Nilight 2.5" x 10" Combo Bar Trailer Receiver Tube
- Material: Raw steel
- Inside opening: 2.5 x 2.5 inches
- Overall length: 10 inches
- Hitch pin hole: 5/8 inch
Usage Recommendations
Welding should be performed by a qualified fabricator or welder following proper safety procedures, and welds should fully penetrate the tube to preserve towing strength. After installation, grind and seal welds and apply a suitable protective coat to the steel to reduce rust risk. If the 10 inch boxed length does not match your frame dimensions, measure carefully before committing to welding because trimming a welded receiver can be difficult and may weaken the assembly.
Positive Aspects
The reinforced collar at the tube mouth increases resistance around the opening and helps control deformation under load, according to the manufacturer. Because it is a simple, no-frills component, it integrates well into bespoke towing setups where standard bolt-on receivers are impractical. The pre-drilled 5/8 inch pin hole keeps compatibility with widely used hitch pins and clips, which simplifies accessory selection.
