Thank you for your business!
To tame the rattling noise you are experiencing with the Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 8" Drop, 8" Rise - 18K # FA42-00-2825 in your 2017 Ford F-250 I recommend the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II - 2-1/2" Hitches # BX88225.
This will keep the ball mount from rattling in the hitch, but there is not a way to get rid of the movement between the shank of the ball mount and the 2 ball platform.
I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
