Found these cat 2 to 3 lift pins. Decided to try them after not being pleased with the bushings.
Fit my hitch perfect and a lot stronger. I had no 1 1/8 bit so my son used a HF stepped bit to start
hole a bit and finished it with a holesaw. Went quick I was surprised how good it worked. 0BC47B4C-AC40-438C-A48C-2E7F654F06B4.jpeg3A225385-BE57-46D8-83AC-90582C8B4EE3.jpegF5683E4A-E1E3-49B8-A64F-CD4671830304.jpeg0B5327B0-C3D0-4B01-9E13-41365CCD2F91.jpeg

FYI... They make what's called a "bridge reamer" very expensive but its a tapered reamer, I have one that goes from 1/2 to 15/16 that was purchases for specific project.... Most are easy to use and you can get large diameter reamer and just stop letting it cut when you get hole large enough....

I actually made a sleeve from PVC pipe to limit depth of cut for my project...

Did the same thing on a couple of rotary cutters, worked great.
