While we do not have the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 for a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver, we do have a couple of other options that will work great.

Since we do not offer # EQ90-02-4600 for a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver you're left with one of two options:

-You can use either a reducer sleeve # C45405 with # EQ90-02-4600, which will reduce your 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver to a 2" x 2" receiver so you can use # EQ90-02-4600.

Or

-You can use a similar shank # EQ90-02-4800, which still offers the same 8" of rise and 4" of drop as # EQ90-02-4600, but has a bit more tongue weight capacity at 1,600lbs; compared to # EQ90-02-4600 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,400lbs.

The only drawback on # EQ90-02-4800 is that it is 12" long, which is 6" shorter than # EQ90-02-4600. If you'd prefer not to use a sleeve with your shank, and the shortened length isn't a deal breaker then this will work great.
