removed draw bar, added removable receiver hitch that is also tied into bracing. can replace draw bar if desired. draw bar was bubba cut also to make way for bumperettes prior to my ownership so not significant loss. 

want to use bike carrier, hitch hauler, and change balls and ball height. caint do that with draw bar. did not significantly alter angle of departure.

My major issue is getting a solid mount to keep flex down and I'll likely need to place support bracing well forward on the frame rails.  I'm planning to use a receiver mounted motorcycle rack and I anticipate upwards of #350 of straight tongue weight.  Additionally the OEM cross brace has been cut out.  Probably a bit of fab work and welding involved before it's going to get the job done reliably.

Following.  Since I have my 2A down to the frame right now, it's as good as time as any to add receiver hitches on both ends.  I run my winches on 2inch carriers so I only have them on when I need them.  I still need to fab up a 2 inch receiver on the 5's front bumper and both ends of the 2 will need it.
