Rock Tamer Hub Mounting Options

Question

Question:

Hi, I own a 2015 Ford F350 with an OEM stock Ford receiver hitch. It has a 3inch receiver with the 2 1/2inch . The issue I have is the 3inch receiver has another reinforcing sleeve welded on the outside making the overall width about 3 9/16inch wide overall. Do you stock anything for the Rock Tamer system that would fit this? Photod attached. Thank you!

Thanks for the pictures! I see what you are talking about. The collar on the OEM hitch receiver will not allow you to mount an accessory on the outside. I do have a solution for you that will allow you to use the Rock Tamer System with any of the three sizes of ball mount options you have available depending on which one you use. The Replacement Hub for Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2-1/2" Hitches item # ERT057 fits around the actual ball mount not the receiver itself. This allows you to mount the Rock Tamer System to your 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

We also have this hub for 2" receivers item # ERT034

and 3" receivers item # RT34FR
