Question:

I have a Blueox sway pro with 2inch shank and just got F350 with 3inch receiver and sleeve to reduce to 2 1/2 . I read that multiple reducers cause a lot of slop in the system. Is there a single part 3inch to 2inch reducer or a clamp for use with with multiple reducers to stop movement? Or is there a better solution? Thanks for any advice.

Expert Reply:

We definitely have a couple options for you. I do not suggest using multiple reducers with weight distribution, so the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 will adapt your 3 inch receiver to a 2 inch without the need of one in between them. I do suggest using an anti rattle device when using a reducer with a weight distribution system, however, and the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BLU85QR is designed to fit 3 inch hitches and will keep everything nice and secure in the hitch.

Do you put this on first, then put the load on the receiver, or vice versa?

@Mike Since this would always be used with your weight distribution system, I would recommend installing the reducer, then the weight distribution system, then loading your bars. That way they will be calibrated to your set up.
