Class IV Hitch...Done.

[chestypuller1371]

anyone have dimensions of the CURT 14082 Class IV Receiver outside to outside?


i thought this was for a 97 k1500 as amazon stated so i pulled the reciever off my 97 k1500 and the dang thing was to wide!! it wasent the curt one though but i cant imagine them being much different off same vehicle.


the widest i could fit would be 34" as that is the distance from the outside of my from to the other outside of the frame.

well i founds specs on the curt! looks like that will fit perfect like you guys been experiancing, i dont know why the one on my 97 k1500 has such different specs for same truck.

I used curt 15530 ITs 34 inch wide fits perfect and very strong 15k I think.

I think the 15530 has been discontinued. The 15800 is a 2 1/2" receiver good for 20,000#. The 15400 is a standard 2" good for 17,000#. I just put the 15400 on mine. Using a 6" drop hitch put it at the right height for me. Amazon has both of them. My hitch install.

I went with the Curt 15800. It's a good hitch. I have the 2.5" to 2" adapter for when I need to tow my civy trailer.

I installed mine to tow my log splitter behind my deuce. Thats the only truck i have right now. Then i realized I cant even see the log splitter behind the deuce even when its totally jackknifed.

Did you just mount it to the frame or did you drop it down any?

Mounted straight to the frame. I have a 8" drop ball adapter so it works fine.

Cool I was looking at the same hitch. Got any pictures?

I couldn't find any of the hitch installation but I did have these showing the back-up lights and my water/fuel carriers. They all show the hitch though.

Looks good. Hope it fits my 923A1 as good. I know its going to sit right below my pintle and will have to turn it sideways to get the drop hitch in.

A few more pictures.

The 923 frames are same width as the deuce? something like 34in correct?

Yes, same frame width and I seem to remember it being 34 inches.
