I pulled one from the warehouse, and theTrailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # e88YR does not have a hollow shank. It hass a solid steel shank, therefore it is not compatible with anti-rattle devices like the # SR25219 anti-rattle hitch pin, which features a threaded nut that slips into the hollow portion of the ball mount or accessory shank.
