On my Dodge Ram 1500 2014, there is a hole in the middle of the rear bumper that is interconnected with the chassis. I failed to find the accessory that it is supposed to go in there although I have seen similar truck pics online with the accessory installed, so I have made a solid rock steel bar with a washer and a nut at the bottom of the shank and 2" tow hitch ball at the top (photo attached). The ball was close to the bumper surface so the trailer made pressure on the bumper and it caused a damage (photo attached). I then fixed the ball higher and now the trailer only sits on the ball without touching the bumper.
Is this the right thing to do or is there a different design for towing a trailer with my truck model?
