Question:

I looked on your site but can’t seem to find what I’m looking and I maybe using the wrong terminology. But basically I need a 3 inch tube/receiver to convert to a 2 inch tube/receiver with a 2 inch

To convert a 3 inch receiver opening to a 2 inch receiver accessory you will need a hitch adapter. If you are just using a ball mount I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408. If you are going to be using an anti-rattle device like you'd want on a ball mount I recommend instead using the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302. This will allow you to use an anti-rattle lock on the 3 inch receiver and then use the anti-rattle of your accessory which won't work when doubling up reducer sleeves.
