Question:

Can this be used to take the slop out of a hitch? I have a 2.5inch receiver with a reducer to 2inch and a 2inch trimax 12inch hitch an there is ALOT of play.

The Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BX88225 works on 2-1/2-inch hitches like yours to reduce motion of the connected item. This device uses two u-bolts that each pull in different directions - one up/down and the other left/right - to steady the connected item.

Whenever additional connections are introduced in a system, such as by using a reducer sleeve like the Curt # 45405, there will always be more potential for random motion.
