I wanted to add a receiver hitch to the deuce. With a careful search of the past threads here, I settled on ordering a Curt 14082 hitch from J.C.Whitley. I think it was about $150 delivered (in 2 days). The hitch was very easy to install with no modifications needed. The hitch was designed for pickups with 34" frames (typically cab & chassis) and all I had to do was cut some holes in the frame with the plasma cutter. I was too lazy to drill them. I think the hitch looks great and is tucked up out of the way. I have a 10" adjustable drop mount used to get the ball lower when needed. If you want to add a receiver hitch to your deuce or 5 ton, I can't imagine an easier install.
I also added some super singles I purchased off the internet. These were almost new 2 piece beadlock rims with the Michilen XL 15.5/80R20 tires mounted on them. I paid $1000 for the set and they were a direct bolt on. I haven't flipped the hubs yet, but the rears track fairly close to the fronts with the rims flipped instead. A little black to cover up the red paint and I am all set. This truck runs great with the LDS engine in it.
