Question:
I am looking for an equalizer hitch with 8 inch and 2.5 inch tube. Do you sell these? I need the whole kit.

It sounds like you're looking for an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch and has either an 8" rise or drop. We have the # EQ90-02-4800 with an 8" rise and 4" drop if you need an 8" rise. If you need an 8" drop you can use the # EQ94FR with a 13" rise and 9" drop.
If by whole kit you mean the entire weight distribution hitch, you will need to choose one based on the loaded tongue weight of your setup. Your tongue weight should fall into the range of the system. You can use the shanks listed above with any of the following:
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37041ET (up to 400 lbs of tongue weight)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37061ET (200-600 lbs TW)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37101ET (600-1,000 lbs TW)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37121ET (800-1,200 lbs TW)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37141ET (1,000-1,400 lbs TW)
In addition to the hitch and the shank you will also need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 for hitch ball installation.
I have attached some review and installation videos below, along with a helpful article on how to measure tongue weight for your reference.
