Will the Set Screws Sit Flush on the 3" Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Reducer Sleeve?  

Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 01/02/2026

Question:

are the set screws on this adapter flush/recessed when tightened? i ordered the 2.5inch Gen-Y 9inch for my 2020 Newmar superstar 4051 and the rig receiver is 3. however my blue-ox Apollo is a 2.5inch shank so i dont want a 3inch hitch. also, aside from a reducer, is there a 3inch shank to 2.5inch receiver hitch setup that i could utilize for the tow bar? i am towing a 2022 ram 2500 with a golf cart in the bed.

Hey Ed, welcome back! The set screws will definitely be flush when you use the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Reducer Sleeve item # GY22YR. The sleeve is going to be held on securely with those screws to your Blue Ox Apollo item # BX7470. I attached a picture below so you can see how it'll look installed.

The only extenders we have that fit a 3" receiver are the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension like item # TLE1636. However, they're designed specifically for the Ford factory 3" hitch. They're not rated for non-Ford hitches due to the support chains and how they're required to be setup. Other than that the only hitch extenders I have for a 2-1/2" receiver reduce down to 2" like the item # C45048 or item # e53YR. Even the High-Low adapters like item # RM-058-4 that fit a 2-1/2" receiver drop down to 2".
