Is it Safe To Use a 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve With a Weight Distribution Trailer Hitch?
Question:
I have two e trainer hitches, both are two inch. I moved from a 1/2 ton yo a 3/4 ton truck. Is there any issue with using a 2.0 to 2.5 inch adapter on my truck with my weight distribution hitch.

Helpful Expert Reply:
There is no problem using a 2-1/2" to 2" Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e26YR with a weight distribution hitch. This way you will not need to replace your Shank # C17132 unless you have a significantly taller receiver on your new 3/4 ton truck. The Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III # BX88312 will allow you to remove the additional rattle you will notice in the receiver by using the additional reducer sleeve with your weight distribution hitch.
