You can go to the hitch store and get a 2.5" Curt hitch ($310) that will fit under your 2" and then get a 2.5" extension and go from there or like I did tie the 2.5" to the original 2" and get a stronger and much cheaper set-up than Torkcrap high dollar rip off, like their tie downs

To each his own but I went the Craigslist route. I don't like to calculate weights or worry if I have enough truck or towing capacity.
Just a side by side comparison. The Reese that came off my F550 and the super hitch that went on. I'll let you draw what ever conclusion you choose. This set up with the tiedowns and 48" extensions was $500.00.
Bottom 2 images is with the 48" extension. Rated for 12000 Lbs.
