No 3" Shank WDH from Blue Ox

I sent an email to Blue Ox today asking if they planned to come out with a 3" shank for their WDH. They responded very quickly after hours (in my time zone, they're based in Nebraska) but they said they had no plans to produce a 3" shank. They do have a 2.5" shank.

I haven't found ANY 3" shank WDH. It's probably overkill and not a huge market. But I can't stand using the reducer sleeves with my 2" shank Blue Ox WDH. I'm going to try it out but I'll have to hold my nose and close my ears to the rattle/clunk the sleeves produce.

Nevermind wasn't paying close enough attention.

When I use my WDH there's no way for it to rattle, there's enough tension on it that it's always mashed against the top of the receiver.

Good to know. I haven't put any tension on my WDH in the 2017 F-350 hitch yet. Without weight on it there is a lot of movement.
