ProPride 2" vs. 2.5" Hitch Bar
I have the ProPride hitch for my setup (see below) and when I originally ordered it, I didn't think to specify the larger 2.5" hitch bar that my truck has. So, I've been using the 2" bar it came with...

There have been some reports of the hitch pin bending when using the adapter.
This makes no sense at all. I have my adaptor held in place semi permanently with a bracket I made. So I never have to mess with it at all. But I still can use it as a 2" if need be. I tow heavy and often on rough roads. My hitch pin has not bent. I can't see how it could make any difference at all. Maybe some are using cheap hitch pins.
Got any links to these reports?
OP: Most drawbars that I have seen are rated the same in the 2:" and 2.5" version. So in most cases there is no advantage of the 2.5" one. In fact the 2" may be better as it can be used in any 2" receiver if needed in a pinch.
Bent pins
It makes perfect sense. That sleeve just floats and the pin is supported with a gap of 1/4 inch. That gap might as well be air because the sleeve is only a locator and supports nothing in the front to rear direction.
