Hello members!

I'm new here and bought 2002 Avalanche 2500 2wd to tow dump trailer 14k
Planning to load it maximum up to 12k, but cannot find distribution hitch that can fit 8" I-beam frame.
Tried to find Class V hitch instead of weight distribution hitch, but didn't find any that will fit 2002 Avalanche 2500, only 2003-2006.

Any recommendations what to do?

Thank you
 
Look up one for a 2002 Suburban... Most don't list one for a 2500 AV but they fit, you just have to remove the bracket for the plug, I have the Reese 45013 on mine as well as others here, rock solid... You should try to find WDH that will work if your going to tow that much weight regularly..

Reese 45013 Class V, 2" 1/2 - https://www.cargogear.com/OneItemInfo.aspx?partnum=RE45013

Draw-Tite 45515 Class V,  2" 1/2 - https://www.reesehitches.com/products/Draw_Tite_Class_V__2_1_2_inch_Trailer_Hitch_Receiver,45515

Draw-Tite 41930 Class V,  2" - https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Chevrolet/Suburban/2002/41930.html?vehicleid=20025532
 
Thank you Randy for the quick response
I'm not planning to tow regularly, will be using it for my farm needs.
Found Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" - DT45515  on eTrailer.com for the good price.

As I understand I have to relocate the wire, because current is attached to the standard hitch. What I have to buy to make it's happen?

Thank you

 
A lot of AV owners relocated the plug up next to the license plate, see link below.. I just added a bracket next to the receiver..
