The 2-1/2 inch Reese shanks have traditionally not fit well with the Ford OEM 2-1/2 inch receivers. The reducer sleeve question has come up before and Reese says that you can use the reducer sleeve with the 2 inch shank and it will work. You might want to contact Ford and speak with a technician though to determine if it is going to reduce the capacity of the hitch when using the reducer.
