Question:

Can this be used with an andersen 3350 wd hitch which is a 2inch shank going into a 2.5inch receiver with a reducer sleeve??

Hello Brandon, we meet again; the Curt Anti-Rattle Kit # C69HR is designed for a hollow shank. I believe the Andersen has a solid shank so that would not work. Even if it didn't, the sleeve probably uses the same hitch pin hole from your 2-1/2" receiver so the pin from the Curt Anti-Rattle wouldn't be able to make it all the way through to secure it.

What you can use instead is the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III # BX88312. I know the cost is quite a bit higher but it is the only option for a solid shank. This is specifically designed for a setup like yours with a 2-1/2" hitch using a 2" adapter.

Hey Brandon, did the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III end up working with your Andersen hitch setup? Knowing how it performed with the reducer sleeve could help others running a similar combination.

@RobinH once again you were spot on i normally would not use a reducer sleeve but but i already had the Andersen setup for my previous H & H trailer and GMC truck but i replaced the trailer and truck as well and just bought the Andersen setup and after upgrading equipment i had blown my just in case money and then some ! Lol I honestly didn't notice the reducer at all it worked great! Also want to add that i used my truck and trailer to haul materials for a living , so it definitely got put through its paces ! I love being able to get knowledgeable answers to questions and get great selection of parts and accessories at a great price ! I recommend e trailer to people all the time !

That’s a smart upgrade, Linda. Your Casita uses a 3,500-lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 hub pattern, so the #MXS39FR is the correct match, not the #MXS77FR (this one is 225/75R15 with 6 on 5-1/2). The #MXS39FR is the same ST205/75R15 size you have now but…

Yes, Mark, a set of four #MXS39FR tires gives you 8,600 lbs total capacity 2,150 lbs × 4, so you’re comfortably above a 7K trailer. Run them at 65 psi cold, and you’re good to go at highway speeds of 87 mph (assuming you're obeying local…

Hey Ron, so we can help but the Curt anti rattle kit part #C69HR does not have a lock setup that it can be upgraded too. So best option would be to upgrade from the Curt to the part #63232 which is a similar anti-rattle device that is locking.
