Question:
How do I get this accessory to not rattle so much? A sleeve rattles too much.

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 # C45405. 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 mount.
I also recommend the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # AM3492 to secure the ball mount to your hitch receiver and the ball platform to the ball mount shank.
