Made from carbon steel with a black finish, the sleeves sit inside a 3\" (or 2.5\") receiver and create a snug, removable interface for 2.5\" or 2\" shank-mounted equipment. A formed lip on each sleeve locates against the receiver opening to prevent the adapter from sliding too far into the hitch tube and to make removal easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the adapter sleeve keep accessories from sliding inside the hitch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeves feature a raised lip that rests on the receiver mouth so the adapter does not migrate inward when towing or loading. That lip both stops over-insertion and provides a clear placement reference when installing or removing the sleeve.

Before buying, measure your receiver tube and the distance from the receiver opening to the hitch pin hole; the adapter’s locating lip is designed for a specific insertion depth.
