Question:

I have a Dodge 3500 with a 2-1/2inch receiver. I would like to use the AM3298 hitch but this requires a reducer to 2inch to maintain its usefulness with my other trucks that have 2inch receivers. I have listed the combination of parts I think I will need to make the transition from 2-1/2inch to 2inch below. Is this the way to go or should I find a hitch with a 2-1/2inch shank?

Expert Reply:

Everything you picked out is compatible. The Adjustable Ball Mount part # AM3298 would fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch with the adapter part # BX88187 that you mentioned and could be secured in place with the hitch pin part # PC3.
