Does Longer Hitch Pin Need to Be Used for etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve
Question:
Since this reduces the size of the receiver do I just use my pin that fits a 2" hitch or do I need something longer?
asked by: Richard W
Expert Reply:
Since the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e28JR fits into a 2-1/2" receiver you need to make sure the pin you're using is able to reach all the way through. Some pins made for 2" receivers can still fit the larger 2-1/2" receivers, but as a general rule of thumb you'll likely need a larger pin.
If you don't already have one I recommend picking up the Hitch Pin and Clip # 37201065 which is just a standard pin but it will work with this reducer sleeve perfectly.
