Default Tracking down a hitch for '95 LS400

Hey guys!

New poster here, but long time lurker when it comes to finding info for anything Lexus.

I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction when it comes down to tracking down a hitch for my 95 LS400. I've determined that the hitch I need is the Curt #12230 Class II hitch, but it seems to be long discontinued. I've called Curt and they don't have any stock left, and I've called around to some online places and they all say they're out of stock but I could try calling Curt . I thought that maybe the LS430 hitch, that Curt still produces, would fit as the bolt holes seem to line up in the diagram online. However, after calling Curt's tech line, he told me that the 430 hitch is about 5 inches longer than the 400, which I thought might be the case just judging on the online diagrams.

So, at this point I'm hoping someone here maybe has one? Or knows someone who would have one? I'm not sure of any other brands that might still make it, any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately they don't, but I was considering making a road trip out of it from Chicago to Tempe, AZ for their custom hitch program 😬.
