Replacement 2-1/2-Inch Shank for Use with Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
Question:
So I have this hitch, moving it to a F250, confirming I can use the 2 1/2inch to 2inch sleeve in my F250 receiver 2 with this hitch which will not change the strength or quality operation? Do I have to use a certain brand of sleeve. Thank You.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Hitch reducer sleeves are the only type of hitch adapter that does not compromise weight capacity or strength so you can use any brand of 2-1/2 to 2-inch reducer sleeve along with your 2-inch Fastway weight distribution shank. You can see them all on the linked page. I like the B&W # BWRHXA2182 because it has a flared opening that keeps it from going too far into your hitch tube.
If you do prefer to use a 2-1/2-inch shank you can choose from the Equal-I-zer models linked for you, such as # EQ90-02-4900.
