It sure is Barry and welcome back! You can indeed use the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System like item # BW78FR that's designed for a 2" hitch with our etrailer Reducer Sleeve item # e28JR. This sleeve will allow you to use the weight distribution system in your F-350's 2-1/2" hitch.

The etrailer Reducer Sleeve item # e28JR has magnets built into the sides to keep the reducer in place while you're connecting the B&W Continuum item # BW78FR 2" shank. It'll lock that 2" shank in place so you get absolutely zero movement inside your 2-1/2" receiver. It's made of steel, measures 5" long, and is powder coated to protect it from corrosion.

What kind of trailer are you pulling?
