I need ~5 feet of inner hitch steel, 2" x .180 wall square tube. I really don't want to buy a whole stick. Anyone holding a piece I could buy?

Try Tractor Supply or CAL ranch? Also, Wasatch sells shorter lengths in their sales room. You can even order it on Amazon.

Do they? I'll give them a ring in the morning. I hadn't tried the farm places yet either, good call.

I have some 2x2x.250 wall. I'm pretty sure it's less than 5' long though. Metalmart had a bunch of thicker 2x2 in the scrap when I was there last week.

I bought this stuff for the two supports for a storage platform I made for the back of a travel trailer. I had a mechanical engineer at work run an analysis assuming a dynamic load of 150lb generator and said I was good with .120 wall tube.
That tray is cantilevered out about 18" from the rear mount under the trailer

I just checked and it fits just fine. Hitch receivers are typically 3/16" wall x 2.5" sq so you have an 1/8" of margin with a 2" hitch tube.

I mean if it's worth building, it's worth overbuilding.
