options for Slop Removal
Hi folks. I'm starting to see oblongation occurring, and feeling too much slop when stopping/starting. I'm still using the GM Stock 2.5" receiver hitch. I'm very happy with the Reese Straitli...

If there is slop at the reducer sleeve, and if I wanted to continue using the 2" drawbar, I'd get the welder out and weld that reducer to the receiver.
Nothing wrong with that approach! I'm keeping the reducer for the infrequent light weight tasks around the ranch with smaller drawbars, though.
Etrailer actually carries the "Titan" 2 1/2" shank, which reduces to the 2" drop section. I never would have realized without this forums' help. I've ordered it, and my problems hopefully will over.
thanks all!
I wouldn't buy a used truck that they welded the sleeve to the receiver since I run a hitch with a 2.5" shank. If you ever plan on trading the truck something to think about.
He could always just remove the hitch before selling. How many would let a couple-hundred dollar hitch keep them from buying the truck they wanted?
