Does anyone make a 3" to 2" reducer....
3" receiver and a 2" shank on my WDH. I currently have to 2 reducers in the reciever but they are sloppy as ***** and I have to use an anti rattle to keep the shank from moving around when towing.
Does anyone make a single reducer that will allow a 2" shank to be used in a 3" receiver that actually fits tight?

I don't know if you will be able to find a reducer that fits tight enough that it doesn't rattle some. You already have the two reducers. I suggest having the two reducers welded together or use an epoxy to bond them together. You will then have a single piece 3" to 2" reducer.

As mentioned, the cheapest option is to epoxy or better yet weld them together, most of us either can weld or know someone who can.

Welding it the key.
Reason you don't see them is square tubing with 1/2" walls is practically non existent. . That Husky one is a rarity, grab it while you can. Closest I found had 2 1/4" opening @ $62 for 12" piece.
I would take the 2 piece one and weld the ends together and then to eliminate slop, weld a bead on the sides, then grind them until its snug.

I gave up on the reducers and went with a 3" shank. At the time, Andersen Hitches was the only one I could find. They're still hard to come by but a couple of other vendors have added the 3" shank.

I second that on the husky! My Anderson WDH has been sitting in the corner because I didn’t want to use two reducers, and never got around to buying a 3” shank after I bought my 2020. Pulled the TT this weekend with the Husky/Anderson and it was a nice contrast to just a standard ball. The husky adapter is a great find!
