  Yes, you can use the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-1925 with your Blue Ox Apollo Non-Binding Tow Bar - 2-1/2" Hitch item # BX7470. However, it is not available without the 2-Ball mounts. This ball mount has a 32,000 lbs towing capacity. If you are going to be using this ball mount to mount a bike rack I recommend the Gen-Y Iron Grip Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin item # GY99FR. This pin will fit your 2-1/2" receiver and 2" hitch using a Adapter/Reducer like #...

• Adapter For Carrying a 2" Bike Rack Lower On a 2020 Ram 2500 With 2-1/2" Receiver
  You will want to use the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH67SR with a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007 to carry your bike rack. The adapters like the Roadmaster # RM-076 you found are only to be used when flat towing and are not designed for the stress of carrying a hitch mounted accessory or towing a trailer.

• Is There 2-1/2 inch Hitch Adapter that Doesn't Add Length to Hitch Setup
  Hey Doug, we do have the Gen-Y Adapter part # 325-GH-007 which is a sleeve style adapter that fits into a 2-1/2 inch hitch and reduces it to a 2 inch hitch without adding any extension. It sounds like this is what you are looking for.

• Can The Extended Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank Be Used With a 2-1/2" To 2" Reducer?
  Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 with a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007 on your 2022 Ram 2500. I do highly recommend using a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062 to remove the excess play from the receiver to the hitch. Having the reducer does create more play than a single ball mount.

• Cushioned Shank For Use With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
  We do have an option for you, though there isn't a standalone cushioned ball mount like the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C45949-22516 that is compatible or rated for use with a weight distribution system. What you can use instead is a cushioned shank that is compatible with your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system; the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank will mount directly in your trailer hitch and you'll simply replace your Equal-i-zer's shank with...

• Best Way to Tow a Trailer and Attach a Motorcycle Carrier to the Same Hitch
  To tow your Lance trailer and haul a motorcycle carrier off of your F-250's hitch, I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-515. This adjustable ball mount has five 2" receiver openings that will allow you to use both a hitch mounted motorcycle rack and tow your trailer. This double ball mount has a 1,500 lbs tongue capacity and a 12,000 lbs towing capacity. If you have a 2-1/2" receiver you will want the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked...

• Recommended Inexpensive Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for 6,000-7,000 Lb Trailer
  The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE94FR is an excellent, cost effective option for a 6,000-7,000 lb trailer. It's rated up to 8,000 lbs so anything between this and 4,000 lbs will be perfect. It's a complete system with included hitch ball already pre-torqued. It also offers both weight distributing and sway control properties. Please note, for 2-1/2" trailer hitch applications you'll need a reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # 325-GH-007.

• Recommended Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank for a Husky Centerline System
  I do have an option for you, but given the information provided the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1102 which fits directly in your 2-1/2" hitch is not the best route for you. That is because the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1102 needs a minimum tongue weight of 1,200 lbs for the built-in shock absorption to function. With your trailer only having a tongue weight of 1,050 lbs. it wouldn't be enough for this shank to work appropriately for you. Instead...

• How is the Length of a Ball Mount Measured
  The length of a ball mount like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 8" Drop - 9-1/2" Long - 12,000 lbs # 4283 is measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount hole. This particular ball mount is 9-1/2" long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole. In regards to your second question you could use the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long # HR26 but it would reduce your tongue weight by...

  For your new Dodge Ram 2500, the 2-1/2 inch Receiver can be reduced using the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # 325-GH-007 and is compatible with weight distribution systems. If you want a better fit for a weight distribution system, I recommend instead using the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitches # C17131. This will allow you to use your same weight distribution system and have the best connection to your 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This will be compatible...

• Parts Needed to Use Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System on 2-1/2" Receiver of 2021 Silverado 2500
  I have a solution for you, but you can't use the Roadmaster # RM-058-4 to tow a trailer; this high/low adapter is only suited for flat towing where there is not any tongue weight. Instead you can use a hitch reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" - 5-1/2" Long # 325-GH-007 to make your 2-1/2" receiver on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 into a 2" receiver that will work with your existing weight distribution hitch.

• Comparing Different 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch Reducer Sleeve Adapters
  We have several different 2-1/2" to 2" reducer sleeves for trailer hitches. There really isn't much difference between them from manufacturer to manufacturer. The ones made from more reputable manufactures will typically have a tighter fit and less slop. That said, you'll also pay a bit more for them. I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # 325-GH-007 which is a great option from a reputable manufacturer at an affordable price. If you would like for me to try and compare two...

• 2-1/2 Inch to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve for the 18 Inches Long EQ90-02-4600 Weight Distribution Shank
  Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4600 with a reducer. You would just need the item # 325-GH-007. This will only extend your hitch 18" though. If that isn't far enough to clear your tailgate I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" item # C45048. This will give you 24"-34" of extra space but will limit your capacity to 6,000 lbs. You will also need the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension item # TLW6021 to extend your 7-way the extra...

• Steel Hitch Pin for 2-1/2 Inch Receiver and Steel Hitch Reducer
  There are steel hitch pins for your 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch but all of them have a zinc coating, such as the Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2-1/2" and 3" Hitches - 5/8" Diameter x 4" Long # 325-GH-099; as you mentioned, for a stainless steel pin you would need a lock, the Curt Hitch Lock - 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Stainless Steel # C23519. If you didn't want a lock because you didn't want to keep track of another key, there is the option of BOLT locks, which are made of stainless steel,...

• Recommended High Capacity Hitch and Dual Ball Mount for a 2003 Bluebird Bus
  I have a solution for adding a heavy duty hitch to your 2003 Bluebird bus but there aren't any TorkLift SuperHitches that will work because they are all custom fit. You will need to go with a universal option and the one I recommend is the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets item # 15903. This is a class V hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 15,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch must be welded on. There is no way to bolt it to your bus...

  The Fastway Self-Locking, Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Stainless Balls - 2" Hitch - 6" Drop, 7" Rise # DTALBM6600-2S can be used with certain adapters and not others. The single hole sleeve reducers like # 45405 or # 325-GH-007 will not work because the ball mount won't have the pins long enough to secure to the receiver itself after connecting to the sleeve reducer. You will want the Adapter Sleeve for Fastway and Diversi-Tech 2" Locking Ball Mounts to 2-1/2" Receivers # DTADP25-SS to...

• Trailer Hitch, Wiring, And Ball Mount Needed To Pull A Roadmaster Tow Dolly
  Hi Thomas, The Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 requires a 2" hitch ball. Your Thor Omni XG32 was likely built on a Ford F-550 chassis so you should be able to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15845, but would need to doublecheck that you have this chassis and confirm the model year, as well as needing to measure 6" down from the frame to see if the receiver tube is going to clear the rear fascia. For the ball mount I recommend using a reducer # 325-GH-007 to get the opening size...

• 2-1/2 Inch to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve for a Cargo Carrier
  To attach a 2" cargo carrier to a 2-1/2" receiver you will need the Gen-Y Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2" to 2" item # 325-GH-007. This sleeve slides into your receiver to accept 2" accessories or ball mounts. It will not reduce your hitches capacity. You won't need a anti-rattle pin it's a tight fit.

To accommodate the OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch hitch, the corners of a ball mount, shank or reducer sleeve may need...
