Helpful Expert Reply:
Best solution is to replace your 2 inch Blue Ox weight distribution shank with one that is designed for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. For that you'd want the # EQ90-02-4900 which will fit your hitch without an adapter and because of that will reduce the play you are experiencing. This will also work great with your current weight distribution system head and tongue weight.
