Question:
I need a rock guard for this particular vehicle the description says 2 1/2 inch hitch the square part of the receiver is 2 inch on mine just wondering I thought all the receivers were 2 inch not sure what the 2 1/2 inch means. Does my vehicle need the heat guard for the exhaust?

Expert Reply:
Rock Tamers make rock guards for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" opening trailer hitches. Typically the higher the capacity of the truck the larger the trailer hitch opening will be.
For your 2005 Chevy Silverado with a 2" hitch you'll need part # ERT00108.
If you had a 2-1/2" hitch you'd need part # ERT00110.
If you had a 3" hitch you'd need part # RT54FR.
Whether or not you'll need the Heat Shield for Rock Tamers Mud Flaps # RT76FR for your Rock Tamers will depend on where your exhaust is angled. If it points back instead of off to the side then I would recommend getting the heat shield to help protect your investment.
