• Trailer Hitch Extension for Use Behind a Truck Bed Camper
  
• I have two options that will allow for you to extend the connection point between your truck and trailer. The best option for you will depending on the gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) of your trailer. As long as the GTW and TW of your trailer does not exceed 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs respectively, the Titan Hitch Box Extension part # RP45018 will work well for you as long as you trim the bar down to 41". If the GTW and TW of your trailer exceeds the above 5,000lb/500lb rating...

• Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for Use in 2-1/2-Inch Hitch with Reducer Sleeve
  
• The Brophy Stabilizer Bracket # RHSB will not work with a 2-1/2-inch hitch that is used with a reducer sleeve like # 58102 but we do have options that will. All anti-rattle devices for use with a 2-1/2-inch hitch like the one on your 2010 Silverado are displayed on the page I linked for you. The one I recommend is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062. This item is rated for both accessory use with things like bike racks and also for towing applications. You can use this so long as your...

• Replacement Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2-Inch Hitch on 2017 Ram Pickup
  
• We can help you with a solution to let you use your Husky Centerline 2-inch weight distribution hitch in your Ram's 2-1/2-inch receiver. There are two ways you can go. One solution is to install a hitch reducer sleeve in your Ram's 2-1/2-inch hitch, an item such as Reese # 58102, Curt # C45405 or Gen-Y # 325-GH-007. This will take up the slack inside the 2-1/2-inch receiver so that your 2-inch Husky shank fits properly. The other and better way to go is to replace the shank component...

• How to Use an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System on a 2017 Ford F-250 with a 2-1/2 Inch Receiver
  
• There isn't an Equal-i-zer weight distribution system that directly fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver. You can use a reducer, like part # 58102, as you said. Another option is to purchase a shank that will fit a 2-1/2 inch receiver. The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4900, for example, provides 10 inches of rise or 6 inches of drop. I've linked the selection for you so you can choose the correct rise or drop you need.

• Recommended Anti-Rattle for 2 Inch Ball Mount in 2-1/2 Inch Receiver with Reducer Sleeve
  
• The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls - 4" Drop or Rise # AM3462 has some moving parts. Because of this there will be some movement noise, but this can be greatly diminished by using an anti-rattle along with your reducer sleeve like # 58102. I recommend the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III for 2-1/2" Hitch with 2" Adapter # BX88312. This will fit the outside of your 2-1/2 inch receiver and will reduce shank movement on your 2 inch Rapid Hitch ball...

• Swing Away Hitch Bike Carrier Setup for 2017 Ford F-250 with Truck Camper
  
• Using a 2-1/2-inch to 2-inch hitch reducer sleeve like # 58102, # BWRHXA2182 or # DTADP35 will allow a 2-inch accessory to fit in your 2-1/2-inch hitch but these Thule and Yakima bike racks you mentioned include their own anti-rattle locks that will not fit the 2-1/2-inch hitch tube. There is another solution to give you the swing-away feature you need for camper access. You would still use one of the reducer sleeves above (or one of the others on the linked page) and add the Yakima...

• Can the 14K Reese Steadi-Flex Spring Bars Be Used with the 10K Reese Steadi-Flex Head
  
• The spring bars between the Reese Steadi-Flex 10K Weight Distribution System part # RP66559 and the Reese Steadi-Flex 14K Weight Distribution System part # RP66561 are not interchangeable as they are both machined to different specifications. They may be able to fit into the socket but this is not advised by the manufacturer nor do I recommend doing so either. Unfortunately, most weight distribution systems begin using larger spring bars around 10K. With that being sad, the Reese Steadi-Flex...

• Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount for 2.5 Inch Hitch Receiver
  
• The highest rated adjustable ballmount for a 2-1/2" hitch receiver is rated for 10,000 lbs. So I would recommend going with the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45900. This adjustable ball mount is rated for 14,000 lbs, and has a rise of 5-1/4" and a drop of 6" and fits 2" trailer hitch receivers. You will then want to use a reducer like # 58102, which adapts a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" hitch receiver opening into a 2" x 2. I spoke with my contact at Curt about adjustable ball mount...

• Amount of Drop Provided By Curt Class V Hitch, part # C15845
  
• According to my Curt representative, the drop of the # C15845 hitch is right at 6 inches between the top of the receiver tube and the bottom of the truck frame. We do indeed have a reducer sleeve available, part # 58102 For more drop, a weld-on hitch like # 41990-16 might be your best bet. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver tube, but offers an impressive 16,000 lb towing/1600 lb tongue weight capacity. The distance from the top of the mounting bracket to the top of the receiver tube would...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System Eagle 30 Foot Boat Trailer w/ Surge Brakes
  
• A hydraulic brake coupler works by compressing when the tow vehicle applies its brakes. The inertia of the trailer makes the coupler compress, which actuates the brakes. Chain suspended weight distribution systems can prevent the coupler from compressing properly, which reduces the effectiveness of the trailer brakes. Reese offer a system that would work perfectly on your boat trailer. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution system, part # RP66559 is designed for trailers with tongue...

• The Convert-a-Ball Cushioned Multi-Hitch Clevis and Pintle Hook Combo # CAB-6W is not offered in a 2-1/2-inch size but you could use an item such as their multi-ball Pintle Hook # PH1 along with 2-1/2-inch Pintle Hook Mount # 337PM25812. Another option is to add a Reese Titan reducer sleeve # 58102 to your 2-1/2-inch hitch to allow use of the 2-inch multi ball # CAB-6W.

• Using Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System with 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  
• The shank # BXW4018 will work with the Blue SwayPro weight distribution systems, like the 1,000 pound system # BXW1000 in order to fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver. However, we do not carry any SwayPro systems that don't include a shank. For another option you can use the Reese Titan Reducer Sleeve # 58102 and use the shank that comes with the SwayPro. You'll also need a hitch ball. Use # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball or # A-90 if you need a 2 inch ball.

• Can Larger Shank Be Used with Fastway Weight Distribution Hitch
  
• To use your 2-inch weight distribution setup in a truck that has a 2-1/2-inch hitch you can either add a reducer sleeve like # 58102 or # BWRHXA2182 to the hitch or you can change the shank to the larger size so it directly fits the 2-1/2-inch hitch. The linked page displays suitable 2-1/2-inch replacement shanks that will work fine with your WD system, such as # EQ90-02-4900 and # EQ90-02-4700.

• Using 2-1/2-Inch Hitch Adapter with Older Blue Ox Weight Distribution Hitch
  
• Blue Ox does not offer a weight distribution shank or complete system for use with 2-1/2-inch hitches, only 2-inch. Introduction of a hitch reducer sleeve like Reese Titan # 58102 (that may require modifications for use on your Ford Super-Duty - see notes on the linked page) will inevitably introduce some additional play. As long as your older weight distribution system is a trunnion type that does not use washers for angle adjustment then you can use an alternate shank like the 2-1/2-inch...

• Welding a 2 Inch Receiver to a Steel Plate on a 1998 GMC C/K Series Pickup Truck
  
• Reducer sleeve # 58102 is made of steel. The same steel used to make trailer hitches. The wall thickness is 1/4 but varies slightly from sleeve to sleeve. This reducer sleeve is not really meant for the purpose you want. I have a better option for you. You could use a hitch fabrication part such as # E-9, # E-11, # 2852, # 80818, or # E17. The ones that are raw steel would be much better for welding and they are designed for applications like you are describing.

• Hitch Receiver Extension and Reducer for Towing a Trailer with a Truck Camper
  
• There's a couple of ways you can do this. Which way is better will depend on the amount of extension you need. One is to use an extension, like the Curt # C45048 which will give you an extra 24 or 34 inches. Then you will use a ball mount in the extension that also reduces your hitch to a 2 inch receiver. Another is to use a reducer in the 2-1/2 inch receiver. The Reese Titan # 58102 will work for this. Then get an extra long ball mount like the Hidden Hitch # 80232 that is 15-3/4...

• Availability of an Adapter to Use the Titan Hitch Extender # RP45018 with a 2 Inch Hitch
  
• I cannot recommend either of the situations that you mentioned for safety reasons. If you were make a reducer for the Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitches, 41 - 48 inches, item # RP45018, it would lower the weight carrying capacity of the hitch and the extension, and could cause an unsafe towing condition. A solid steel bar while it seems very sturdy would most likely have less weight carrying capacity than a square tube extension like the Titan extension. The...

• Can a 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve be Used with Weight Distribution Systems
  
• Generally speaking the use of a reducer sleeve does not decrease the capacity of a trailer hitch. However some hitch manufacturers may have a reduced capacity if a sleeve is used. There isn't a standard for all hitches and all reducer sleeves. It depends on the hitch and the sleeve. The weight distribution system may also have a reduced capacity which should be in the literature for your weight distribution system. The other option is to replace the weight distribution shank with one...

• Will the Use of a 2-1/2 Inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Reducer Sleeve Reduce the Hitch Capacity
  
• You have a couple of options. The best thing to do would be to use a ball mount that fits in your hitch. The reason is that you will not have to worry about a reducer sleeve fitting, any capacity reduction, or adding another component in the system. For 2-1/2 inch receivers we have # RP45322, or # RP45323 for an 18,000 pound fixed ball mount. The other option is to use a reducer, # 58102. The hitch capacity should not be dramatically changed so if it is rated to tow the 13,000 pounds...

• Recommended Reducer Sleeve For 2-1/2 Trailer Hitch Receiver To Use 2 Inch Hitch Cover
  
• If your son has a Class lV or V trailer hitch on his new Silverado, he may indeed have a 2-1/2 inch opening on his hitch. All of the hitch covers we offer with the New England Patriots Logo on them are designed to fit trailer hitches with a 2 inch receiver opening, but there is an option for you. I recommend using a reducer sleeve like part # 58102. You insert this into the 2-1/2 inch receiver on the hitch and then you can attach any of the 2 inch hitch covers in the link I have provided.

• Can Reducer Sleeve be Used with a Weight Distribution System

I recommend the Reese Titan Reducer Sleeve # 58102 which will reduce your 2-1/2" hitch receiver opening to a 2" opening so that your current WD Curt WD system is compatible with your Ram 2500.

• Adding a Receiver to a Hitch Mounted Salt Spreader on a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 with 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
  
• I believe I understand. You want to change the shank on the salt spreader so that it will still fit the trailer hitch but have a receiver on the other end so you can tow with the spreader still in the hitch. You would need combo bar # 11029. Then, if using a 2 inch ball mount, you would need a reducer sleeve, # 58102. Keep in mind that doing this is going to move the ball mount out far away from the hitch and will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. The combined...

You can use a reducer sleeve like part # 58102 along with a ball mount like part # BWBMHD30013. The ball mount has a 16K capacity, and a hitch pin hole to ball hole distance of 11-3/8 inches. Draw-Tite offers a 12K model with a hole to hole distance of 12 inches and a 4 inch drop, part # 4285. If your...

In order to reduce your hitch down to a 2 inch diameter opening on your new Ford F-350 Super Duty you would need to purchase a Titan Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch, part # 58102. You should take note that Ford OEM hitches have a tighter/different radius on their 2-1/2 inch receiver tubes. To accommodate the OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch hitch, the corners of a ball mount, shank...

• Ball Mount Options for a 2014 Ram 2500 With OEM Class V Trailer Hitch

This is mainly because they are building their trucks stronger and stronger each year and they need to install the equipment that can handle the higher capacities. You have a few different options when it comes to ball mounts and hitch balls. If you want to use your current equipment, you could use a reducer sleeve like part # 58102. This...

• Hitch Receiver Reducer for Towing a Horse Trailer With Ford F350
  
• It is perfectly safe to use a reducer like the # 58102 you referenced. Using the reducer will not reduce the amount of weight the vehicle can tow, but a ball mount for a 2x2 receiver would typically has a lower towing and tongue weight capacity than a ball mount for a 2-1/2x2-1/2 receiver would. Just be sure that the weight of the fully loaded trailer does not exceed the weight of the lowest rated component of the towing system, like the hitch, ball mount, trailer ball, etc. If your...
