Video Transcript for Review of Curt Hitch Fabrication Parts - Curt - C49511

Today, we're going to take a look at the Curt 18-inch Long Combo Bar with the 2.5-inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Opening in an unpainted raw finish. Now this combo bar is used to fabricate a hitch receiver, where a bolt on hitch receiver is not available. This is designed to accept any 2.5-inch by 2.5-inch ball mount shank. Does have this nice half-inch forged collar reinforcement around the front here for increased strength. And as I mentioned, it is an unpainted raw finish, so it allows for immediate welding.Does have a pre-drilled five-eighths inch diameter hitch pin hole. Does require a hitch pin and clip to hold your ball mount in place, that is sold separately.

We recommend to use part number C21582, and it's listed on this product page as a related product. This part is made in the USA. Overall length on this, if we measure from the very front to the very end is right at 18 inches. And the measurement from the front to the center of the hitch pin hole is right at 2.5 inches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt 18-inch Long Combo Bar with the 2.5-inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Opening in an unpainted raw finish..


Customer Reviews

18" Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted - C49511

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (13 Customer Reviews)

2-1/2" x 2-1/2" Receiver bar sized and punched to fit all common weight-distributing hitch ball mounts or utility ball mounts.

by:

Great company to deal with, the only reason I gave four stars was because when I ordered a 2-1/2” receiver tube over a 2” tube I would hope it would be a schedule 80 tube with a heavier wall. It has the same wall thickness of schedule 40 like on a 2” tube. I have bent 2” tubes in the past towing equipment so I figured I’d try a bigger size . Also the hitch drop mount is a bit loose and sloppy in the receiver tube.

I need time to work with the product.



by:

Very well made. Really liked that it was made in the USA and was just what I needed to make a custom hitch.

  • Tube Dimensions of Curt 18 Inch Combo Bar With 2-1/2 Inch Receiver
    The thickness of the tube of the Curt 18" Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49511 is 1/4" so the tube itself is 3" square. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

  • Which Way Should the Holes of the Combo Bar part # C49511 Face When Welded On
    The holes that are in the Combo Bar part # C49511 that you referenced are for a hitch pin to fit through. You would want the holes to be on the sides so that a hitch pin would slide through from either left to right or right to left.

  • Recommended Raw Weld On 2-1/2 Receiver Tube with Collar
    It sounds like you might be looking for some hitch fabrication parts and if that's the case we have the Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted part # C49511 at 18" which is the longest available. I have attached a full list of options below as well.

  • Is Curt 18-Inch Combo Bar with 2-1/2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver C49511 Completely Open Inside
    The Curt 18-Inch Combo Bar with 2-1/2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49511 is a raw-finish fabrication part that is without any type of stops or obstructions inside the tube. Its interior is completely open (and unfinished) all the way through. The unfinished exterior reduces prep time for welding.

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2019 E-450 Cutaway With Lift Gate
    Typically the solution for your 2019 E-450 Cutaway is a universal hitch like the Curt # 15903 you looked at. With the liftgate you will have to figure out if it will fit or not based on the placement and design of the liftgate. Some have too many parts in the way and others may have room for a hitch installation. If you aren't sure i recommend talking to a certified welder or fabricator to see if this is possible based on the position of your liftgate. You could also have a custom hitch...

  • 2-1/2 Hitch Extension for a 2019 Thor Omni Motorhome
    The 18" Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted # C49511 is designed for hitch fabrication and will not fit inside your 2-1/2" receiver as it is the same side of the receiver. We do have a Trailer Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 which fits your 2-1/2" receiver and will extend the hitch pin hole out 7" to a 2" receiver. Currently all of our 2-1/2" extenders are also reducing the receiver to a 2" opening. The adapter will reduce your receiver capacity by 1/3rd and gives...

  • Availability of 7 inch Long 2-1/2 inch Hitch Extender
    We have a similar 7 inch long 2-1/2 inch hitch extender with the part # HR26 but that would work for you but we can't recommend using the part # C49511 as it hasn't been tested in this application. You should note that hitch extenders like this cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent.

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver Tube For 2" and 2 1/2" Hitches
    Hey Mitch, for that size receiver we only have the 18" Combo Bar with 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49511 which is only 18" long. We do also have the Combo Bar with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # 2852 which hits your length requirement, but it's only a 2" receiver, unfortunately. I'd just recommend getting in touch with a local fabrication shop and see if they can drum something up for you. It's not a super outlandish request, so I'd imagine they'd be able to help you out.

  • Availability of 2-1/2 Inch Combo Bars Shorter than 18 Inches for Hitch Fabrication
    We do have other 2-1/2 inch combo bars if you want something shorter than 18 inches. We have a 12 inch model, # 337RT255812, and we have an 8 inch model, # 337RT255808. Since these are hitch fabrication parts they can be cut to the length needed.

  • Solution for Class V Hitch on 2011 Fleetwood Expedition Motorhome
    For hitch fabrication we only offer the receiver tube like the # E-11 or # C49511. You would need to take this to a local fabricator and they would be able to fashion a hitch and brackets that will fit your 2011 Fleetwood Expedition Motorhome. The other option would be to use one of the universal Class V hitches we have listed for your motorhome. We have the Curt # C47CR with a 9" drop and the Curt # C99CR with an 18" drop. Both options have a 2" receiver. The # C37CR and # C87CR are...
