Question:
Hello, I have a blue ox sway pro wdh BMX1000. It has a 2” shank, my truck is a 2023 Ram 2500 with a 2-1/2” hitch. I am currently using a spacer to reduce my hitch size to fit the blue ox. Can I buy a 2-1/2” shank that will bolt up to my existing WDH instead of buying the whole thing? If so, can you provide me the part number and link? Thank you

Hey Kenny, how did the new Blue Ox shank for your Ram 2500 work out? Did it fit your SwayPro setup the way you needed? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same hitch size difference.
