Modified Sleeve Adapter For 2-in. Ball Hitch
 ✖  |
Larry Wood, Waldo, Ohio: “Tired of your trailer making noise when you travel down the road? I have a Ford F-350 with a 2 ½-in. receiver hitch so I use a sleeve adaptor so our 2-in. ball hitch will work properly. But each time I pulled the 2-in. hitch out to change the ball size, the sleeve would move and pinhole would be misaligned.
“In order to solve both the noise problem and the alignment problem, I drilled and tapped a ½-in. hole in the bottom of the receiver and through the sleeve adaptor. Then I installed a short ½-in. bolt in the new hole. When the bolt is screwed in a short way, it holds the sleeve in place and when you screw it all the way in, it stops the rattle.”
