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 !
