trailer hitch receiver tubing

Anyone know an on line store that sells lengths (24") of trailer hitch receiver tubing?

Harbor Freight has it, but not sure if that long...

Do you want the inner or the outer? Be aware the outer 2.5x2.5 isn't just regular square tubing, the proper stuff has a .238 wall instead of .25 and has the inner flash removed....and really the correct inner tube has rounded edges, regular "square" 2x2 doesn't fit right either....

BTDT with getting the 2x2 with corners and also struggled with the outer part with flash in it...

Thanks for the locations. I need to clarify; I need the inner pipe that goes into the receiver tube. I want to make a longer piece that I can mount my ball to and insert it into the receiver tube that is on my FEL bucket, to move trailers around.

I use 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 3/16 wall. It is slight slop to it but it is cheeper. I get it by the 24 ft stalk. They will not obviously have that outer lip that a true receiver has, but that doesn't bother me. I have built bumpers and without that lip I was able to make it flush in the face of the bumper. Has a nice look to them. Just my 2 cents

These guys are not getting it, Go to your local steel yard and get a piece of 2"x2" x 1/4" wall square tube and drill a 5/8" hole in and your done.
