Just a quick question...
My 2005 GC has a factory installed hitch. I recently bought a standard Reese 2x2" receiver and installed to tow a utility trailer. There is a tremendous amount of "play" in the receiver and sometimes it moves so much (especially when I have no load in the trailer) that it sounds like the rear end is being torn out of the jeep. Is the 2x2" receiver the proper one for the Jeep GC? Should I have purchased something different. Please advise. Thanks.

2x2 should be the right size...

This may help while you are hauling a load...

It should be if its a standered hitch.

Do you mean the ball mount "rattles around" in the receiver when there's no load on it? My '04 with factory hitch has done this since new. Nature of the beast I was told.

Dosn't every hitch.

Some do it more than others...

Mine rattles around a lot. On the other hand, the hitches on my parents tahoes do not... Just has to do with what size your receiver pin is...

My pin is a Master locking pin that just barely fits through the hole but it still rattles.

You know the tolerances or so precise on that kinda stuff.

You want to hear rattling tow an empty tow dolly.

True,true.
