When I purchased my Silverado 2500 it came with the reducer, I used it and it did seem a little sloppy. I took the truck to the dealer and explained my concern.
They took the truck in and welded the reducer to the hitch, I mean they welded that bad boy, not simple tacking, a full bead all around front and back!
Even put a coat of paint on it!!
Done deal,works great!!
Only issue now is finding a locking hitch pin for my bike rack, I have a standard locking hitch pin,, but the one for my bike rack is an anti wobble but not long enough!
My WD hitch is nice and snug no rattles or wobble anymore!!
Take it to a welder and have them weld it in, I do not tow anything that requires a 2-1/2 shank!
This is the locking pin I use on my GM 2.5" receiver http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017KIYOG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
If your getting rattling from the reducer with WD bars attached that is a sign your hitch is not setup properly. You likely don't have enough tension on the bars and they are completely unloading under certain road conditions
