The Blue Ox SwayPro 15K Weight Distribution System part # BXW1500 does not come with a 2-1/2" shank but rather a 2". The Blue Ox SwayPro 20K Weight Distribution System part # BXW2000 is the one that comes with a 2-1/2" shank. If needed, you could use an adapter like the Blue Ox Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # BX88187 or just obtain the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank part # BXW4028 separately.
