CROSSHIP 2.5-to-2-Inch Hitch Receiver Adapter Sleeve — 4-Hole Adjustable, Locating Lip

The CROSSHIP hitch receiver adapter converts a 2-1/2" receiver to accept standard 2" shanks with an adjustable 4-hole position and a locating lip to prevent over-insertion.

If you have a Class V hitch on a truck, tractor, RV or other heavy-duty rig but need to use a common 2" ball mount, bike rack or cargo carrier, this adapter sleeve provides a fast, sturdy solution. Designed for industry-standard 2.5" receivers, the CROSSHIP reducer sleeve slides into the larger tube and secures a 2" shank with four selectable pin locations, so you can set the correct rise or drop without spacers.

How do I know this adapter will fit my vehicle?

Measure two critical dimensions before ordering: confirm your receiver opening is 2.5" and measure the distance from the receiver face to the first available hitch pin hole. The adapter works when that distance (receiver to pin hole) is 2.36" (60 mm) or less. Also check that the accessory you want to mount uses a 2" shank.

• Receiver opening: 2.5" (industry standard)
• Maximum receiver-to-pin distance: 2.36" (60 mm)
• Compatible shank size: 2"
• Use cases: ball mount, bike rack, cargo carrier, UTV accessories

What adjustment options and safety features are included?

This adapter offers four distinct pin positions so you can alter hitch height easily for correct towing geometry. A molded locating lip prevents the sleeve from sliding too far inside the receiver and makes removal simpler. Heavy-gauge construction resists deformation under load when used within rated limits.

• Four-hole adjustable positions for rise/drop
• Locating lip to prevent over-insertion and simplify removal
• Solid-walled sleeve for secure shank support
• Accepts standard 2" hitch pins and clips

How do I install and remove the CROSSHIP reducer sleeve?

Installation is straightforward: slide the adapter into the 2.5" receiver until the locating lip seats, align the chosen pin hole, and secure with a hitch pin or lock. To remove, pull on the lip to disengage and slide the sleeve out — no helpers or prying required. Always secure with an appropriate hitch pin and check tightness before towing or carrying cargo.

• Slide adapter into 2.5" receiver until lip engages
• Select one of four pin positions for proper height
• Insert and lock a compatible 2" hitch pin
• Remove by gripping lip and pulling sleeve out

What limitations should I be aware of before use?

The adapter reduces receiver size but does not change the towing capacity of the vehicle or hitch assembly; use within the original tongue weight and towing ratings. It is not universal for every vehicle — inspect dimensions (receiver opening and pin distance) before purchase. Avoid welding or modifying the sleeve; mounting methods should use standard pins and rated accessories.

• Does not increase vehicle or hitch tow rating
• Not suitable if pin distance exceeds 2.36"
• Do not weld or alter the sleeve
• Use rated pins and accessories only

Who this is for: CROSSHIP's 2-1/2" to 2" adapter sleeve is made for owners of trucks, tractors, RVs, UTVs and any vehicle with a 2.5" receiver who regularly switch between heavy-duty hitches and common 2" accessories. It's ideal for people who need a quick, durable way to use standard ball mounts, bike racks or cargo carriers while preserving correct hitch height and easy removal.
