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.

Hey Milford, how did things turn out with the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution on your 2-1/2 inch hitch? Did the reducer sleeve or the new shank end up being the better fit for you? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
