Equalizer hitch

Recently purchased a F350 coming from a F150- we plan on a bigger camper 5th wheel in the next year. In the meantime I'm setting up my 24 foot travel trailer and Equalizer hitch for the 350. I purchased a 2 1/2 to 2 reducer and did a 180 on the shank. My ride measurements look good. I'm worried the shank is not going far enough into the receiver. Anyone here with a similar hitch setup. Thoughts on my pics?

I have the same setup on my F250. You may only have 2.5” from the pin hole, but you still have a bunch on the other side of it. I wouldn’t worry too much. I have heard of guys drilling new holes to get more shank in the receiver. But I’m not worried about it.

Mine looked the same way when we pulled our 29' Nomad. That thing was heavy and we never had a problem. How far it stuck out bugged me as well but you'll be fine.

Get a 2.5 hitch and eliminate the reducer.
