• Class V Hitch With 2-1/2 Inch Receiver For 2010 Ram 2500 With Factory Hitch
  The factory hitch on a 2010 Ram 2500 should be compatible with weight distribution, but without knowing the exact hitch on your truck, I can't give you a definitive yes. What I know for certain will work with a weight distribution system is adding a new hitch receiver. There is no downside to this (other than the cost, like you mentioned), and a Class V hitch with a 2" sleeve will not lessen the performance. What I recommend is an option from Curt: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15809 The...

• Parts Needed to Use Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System on 2-1/2" Receiver of 2021 Silverado 2500
  I have a solution for you, but you can't use the Roadmaster # RM-058-4 to tow a trailer; this high/low adapter is only suited for flat towing where there is not any tongue weight. Instead you can use a hitch reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" - 5-1/2" Long # 325-GH-007 to make your 2-1/2" receiver on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 into a 2" receiver that will work with your existing weight distribution hitch. You could also get a completely different shank that...

• Steel Hitch Pin for 2-1/2 Inch Receiver and Steel Hitch Reducer
  There are steel hitch pins for your 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch but all of them have a zinc coating, such as the Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2-1/2" and 3" Hitches - 5/8" Diameter x 4" Long # 325-GH-099; as you mentioned, for a stainless steel pin you would need a lock, the Curt Hitch Lock - 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Stainless Steel # C23519. If you didn't want a lock because you didn't want to keep track of another key, there is the option of BOLT locks, which are made of stainless steel,...

• Cushioned Shank For Use With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
  We do have an option for you, though there isn't a standalone cushioned ball mount like the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C45949-22516 that is compatible or rated for use with a weight distribution system. What you can use instead is a cushioned shank that is compatible with your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system; the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank will mount directly in your trailer hitch and you'll simply replace your Equal-i-zer's shank with...

• Replacement Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2-Inch Hitch on 2017 Ram Pickup
  We can help you with a solution to let you use your Husky Centerline 2-inch weight distribution hitch in your Ram's 2-1/2-inch receiver. There are two ways you can go. One solution is to install a hitch reducer sleeve in your Ram's 2-1/2-inch hitch, an item such as Curt # C45405 or Gen-Y # 325-GH-007. This will take up the slack inside the 2-1/2-inch receiver so that your 2-inch Husky shank fits properly. The other and better way to go is to replace the shank component of your weight...

• Recommended Sway Bar for 2023 Ford F-350 Towing Snowmobile Trailer
  Unless you want to add a weight distribution system a simple sway bar like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 you looked at should take care of your problem. If you want to use weight distribution we would need to know the loaded tongue weight of your setup. In addition to the # 83660 you will also need a ball mount with a sway control tab like the # D320. If you used this particular ball mount then you would also need a reducer sleeve like the # 325-GH-007. If you need a different...

• Recommended Inexpensive Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for 6,000-7,000 Lb Trailer
  The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE94FR is an excellent, cost effective option for a 6,000-7,000 lb trailer. It's rated up to 8,000 lbs so anything between this and 4,000 lbs will be perfect. It's a complete system with included hitch ball already pre-torqued. It also offers both weight distributing and sway control properties. Please note, for 2-1/2" trailer hitch applications you'll need a reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # 325-GH-007.

• Can The Extended Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank Be Used With a 2-1/2" To 2" Reducer?
  Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 with a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007 on your 2022 Ram 2500. I do highly recommend using a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062 to remove the excess play from the receiver to the hitch. Having the reducer does create more play than a single ball mount.

However, it is not available without the 2-Ball mounts. This ball mount has a 32,000 lbs towing capacity.

• Comparing Different 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch Reducer Sleeve Adapters
  We have several different 2-1/2" to 2" reducer sleeves for trailer hitches. There really isn't much difference between them from manufacturer to manufacturer. The ones made from more reputable manufactures will typically have a tighter fit and less slop. That said, you'll also pay a bit more for them. I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # 325-GH-007 which is a great option from a reputable manufacturer at an affordable price. If you would like for me to try and compare two...

• How is the Length of a Ball Mount Measured
  The length of a ball mount like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 8" Drop - 9-1/2" Long - 12,000 lbs # 4283 is measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount hole. This particular ball mount is 9-1/2" long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole. In regards to your second question you could use the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long # HR26 but it would reduce your tongue weight by...

• Recommended Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank for a Husky Centerline System
  I do have an option for you, but given the information provided the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1102 which fits directly in your 2-1/2" hitch is not the best route for you. That is because the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1102 needs a minimum tongue weight of 1,200 lbs for the built-in shock absorption to function. With your trailer only having a tongue weight of 1,050 lbs. it wouldn't be enough for this shank to work appropriately for you. Instead...

• Recommended High Capacity Hitch and Dual Ball Mount for a 2003 Bluebird Bus
  I have a solution for adding a heavy duty hitch to your 2003 Bluebird bus but there aren't any TorkLift SuperHitches that will work because they are all custom fit. You will need to go with a universal option and the one I recommend is the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets item # 15903. This is a class V hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 15,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch must be welded on. There is no way to bolt it to your bus...

• Solution to Provide 2 inch Hitch Opening at a 10 inch Drop that Fits 2.5 inch Hitch
  The best option for that would be the Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount part # 325-GH-625 with the sleeve adapter part # 325-GH-007 installed in the hitch opening you want to use as it would provide a 2 inch hitch size. There isn't a similar option that would work without a sleeve adapter.

• How to Transport a 300 lb Motorcycle While Towing an Airstream Trailer with a 2018 Ford F-350
  I have a solution for you to get your motorcycle and Airstream trailer to your destination but a typical dual adapter like part # MPG544 wont' do the job because these have a max tongue weight of 400 lbs and since your motorcycle weighs in at 300 lbs you need an alternative option. You could potentially use a beefier option like the Gen-Y Hitch # 325-GH-1724 with an adapter # 325-GH-007 for a motorcycle carrier like # e98873 but you would have to find a creative way to load your motorcycle...

• 2-1/2 Inch to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve for the 18 Inches Long EQ90-02-4600 Weight Distribution Shank
  Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4600 with a reducer. You would just need the item # 325-GH-007. This will only extend your hitch 18" though. If that isn't far enough to clear your tailgate I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" item # C45048. This will give you 24"-34" of extra space but will limit your capacity to 6,000 lbs. You will also need the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension item # TLW6021 to extend your 7-way the extra...

  We have a solution that may work for you. While Equal-i-zer, or any other manufacturer do not manufacturer an 18" neck with 2.5 shank they do have an 18" neck. Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4500 and # EQ90-02-4600 could be used with the addition of a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007. The sleeve will adapt your 2.5" receiver to accept the 2" shank.

• Best Way to Tow a Trailer and Attach a Motorcycle Carrier to the Same Hitch
  To tow your Lance trailer and haul a motorcycle carrier off of your F-250's hitch, I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-515. This adjustable ball mount has five 2" receiver openings that will allow you to use both a hitch mounted motorcycle rack and tow your trailer. This double ball mount has a 1,500 lbs tongue capacity and a 12,000 lbs towing capacity. If you have a 2-1/2" receiver you will want the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked...

• Adapter For Carrying a 2" Bike Rack Lower On a 2020 Ram 2500 With 2-1/2" Receiver
  You will want to use the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH67SR with a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007 to carry your bike rack. The adapters like the Roadmaster # RM-076 you found are only to be used when flat towing and are not designed for the stress of carrying a hitch mounted accessory or towing a trailer.
