hitch adapter 2in to 2.5 inch
« on: October 25, 2024, 12:09:21 PM »
I have a stinger I would like to have the option to use from time to time as it has a tongue weight scale on it.  Honestly I doubt I would tow with it at all - just a quick and dirty assessment of tongue weight from time to time.

The issue is, it came from a truck I no longer have and it is a 2.5 inch stinger.  My current truck only has a 2 inch receiver.

I figure someone must make an adapter that goes from 2 inches on the receiver (truck side) to 2.5 inches on the hitch (stinger) side.  Spent some time looking and I cannot find one.  Anyone know a good source?  I assume it would be some kind of hitch extension kind of deal given the geometry.

My 2014 Chev HD2500 came with an adaptor for the 2 1/2 to 2.

If I am reading your post correctly (perhaps not), you have a 2.5 on the truck receiver and the adapter allows you to use 2 inch stingers.  I want to go the other way - 2 on the truck side, 2.5 on the hitch/stinger.

If you’re just using it to get a quick tongue weight any fab shop with the lights on can help you out quickly.
