2.5” weight distributing bitch questions....

[Bpracing1127]

So I got a new truck and it has a 2.5” receiver hitch. My old truck had a 2”. For my weight distribution hitch should I upgrade the shank to a 2.5” or just buy the sleeve? My regular hitch is now 2.5” as my old one is worn out as well.
Thoughts?

The sleeves are kind of a pain to use. Getting everything lined up and pinned

The sleeves have a lot of play in them I hated it. Ended spending some good dough on a nice curt 2.5”

Get the shank you skank! And a locking pin kit

you might need a new drop hitch for the flat bed trailer

I run the sleeve but my trailer is only around 10k lbs . I have 9 years on it and no problems .

I was in the same position and bought the shank. I think it was the right decision. I just sold the trailer and still have the shank. I used it 3x and am planning to sell it. $75 and its yours. This one:
