Can Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ball Mount # DTALBM6625 be Used Without Outer Sleeve in 2-Inch Hitch
Question:
On the DTALBM6625 ball mount can the sleeve be removed so you could use it on a 2 inch receiver? While I would use it on a 2.5 inch receiver 95 of the time it would be nice if you could remove the sleeve and use it on a 2 inch receiver when you want to.

The steel sleeve around the shank of the USA-made Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ball Mount # DTALBM6625 is not a removable component, like an adapter. It is part of the integrated locking mechanism that secures the shank in your receiver tube. This ball mount is designed for use only in 2-1/2-inch hitch receivers. It cannot be used in a 2-inch hitch.
The linked video will help illustrate the operation of the lock mechanism.
We do offer a comparable product from Diversi-Tech designed for 2-inch hitch receivers, part # DTSTBM6600-2S. This unit uses a slightly different lock mechanism on the shank and ball platform but otherwise offers similar specs in a 2-inch version.
