REDTEE Weld-On Hitch Receiver Tube 2-inch Receiver, 9-inch Length Raw Steel Reinforced Collar

The REDTEE Weld-On Hitch Receiver Tube is a 2" x 9" raw-steel receiver built for welding into custom towing rigs and fabrication projects.

This welded receiver tube provides a straightforward, heavy-duty way to add a standard 2" hitch opening where a bolt-on receiver won’t work. Built from raw steel with a reinforced collar and a 5/8" hitch pin hole, the unit ships ready to weld so fabricators, shops, and DIY builders can integrate it into trailers, truck beds, frames, or custom mounts. An included anti-rattle bolt helps keep inserted shanks secure during transport.

How does this weld-on receiver fit with common 2" accessories?

The REDTEE receiver uses industry-standard 2" x 2" internal dimensions, so it accepts most shanks and accessories designed for a 2" hitch. Because it’s a weld-on part, it’s not intended for bolt-on installation unless adapted with proper hardware and engineering.

• Accepts typical 2" ball mounts, ball mounts with shanks, tow hooks, and hitch-mounted accessories.
• 5/8" hitch pin hole aligns with standard 5/8" pins and locking devices.
• Weld-on raw steel allows permanent integration into custom frames and trailers.

What strength and durability features does it include?

This receiver features a reinforced collar at the opening to improve load distribution and resist deformation under heavy loads. The raw-steel construction is optimized for welding, letting the installer create robust joints tailored to the vehicle or trailer’s required strength.

• Reinforced collar reduces flex and concentrates reinforcement where the shank enters.
• Raw steel finish enables direct welding for a strong, continuous bond.
• Designed for fabrication use — final strength depends on welding quality and installation design.

How does the anti-rattle bolt work and is hardware included?

An anti-rattle bolt is included to tighten the inserted shank and minimize side-to-side movement that causes noise and wear. This simple screw-tightening solution enhances fitment cleanliness when the receiver is used with compatible shanks.

• Includes an anti-rattle bolt that threads into the receiver to secure shanks.
• Reduces audible rattle and limits shank wobble while towing or driving off-road.
• Works with standard 5/8" hitch pin setups for added security.

What should I check before purchasing and installing?

Confirm the receiver’s 9" overall length and 5/8" pin hole size match your design and accessory needs. Because the unit arrives in raw steel for welding, plan for surface preparation, appropriate weld procedures, and any corrosion protection after installation.

• Verify 9" length and 2" opening suit your accessory reach and frame location.
• Ensure welding is performed by a qualified welder following vehicle or trailer manufacturer guidelines.
• Plan to coat or paint welded areas to prevent rust after installation.

This REDTEE weld-on hitch receiver is aimed at fabricators, shops, and experienced DIYers building or modifying towing systems where a permanent, high-strength receiver is needed. If you need a temporary or removable receiver, consider bolt-on models instead. For custom trailer frames, specialized mounts, or heavy-duty accessory installation where welding is acceptable, this receiver provides a clean, standard 2" interface ready for integration into your project.
