My Ram has 2-1/2” receiver as well. Rather than cut up the Curt 24/36” extension I bought an 18” long 2” receiver tube and cut it down to a 12” extension. The 2” receiver tube gives a 2-1/2” outside dimension that the truck hitch needs. Unfortunately with the drop needed as well I have 3 joints - truck to extension, extension to drop and drop to Ready Brute. I use three NSA de-rattlers on those joints. Now that I’m happy with the extension length I may get a welder to permanently join the extension and drop. Or build one from scratch.
Just measured: extension and drop gives total extension of 19” with a 6” drop. Extension tube alone is 11”.
Yep this is going to be a steep learning curve for awhile I can see. Right now I've got the camper off the truck resealing the roof and every seam (it's a bit easier being lower) I'll load the camper hopefully next week and do some measurements. Thanks.
