All of our channel mount trailer couplers fit a 2-7/8" or 3" channel so if you wanted to get one from us you'll need to cut off your old channel and weld on a new one like what we see with the Demco Channel and Coupler Kit # DM6125-81.

Aside from that, if you're wanting one that fits a 2-1/2" channel we unfortunately don't have anything to fit that need.
