Question:
I use a Curt weight distribution hitch on my travel trailer and it has a 2 inch shank on it. Previously I towed the trailer with a Ram 1500 with a class IV hitch but now I just purchased a Ram 2500 that has a class V 2-1/2. The new truck came with a 2-1/2 inch to 2inch , can I just use that without buying any new parts? The hitch weight on the trailer is only 550 lbs and the trailer only weighs 5300 lbs.

Yes, you most certainly can simply use a reducer sleeve as opposed to a new shank for your Weight Distribution (WD) setup. 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.
