Hi Milford,
The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RE44FR is designed for 2" x 2" but can be adapted to fit your 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch with part # BWRHXA2182 or you can swap out the shank with one like the Weigh # WS87RR. Personally, I'd go with the sleeve so that way you can use it with other accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
