Does anyone have any idea as to what this ring is/does? I have the part that screws in the bumper that takes the receiver as well as the receiver - what is this ring? And no its not the same size as the hole where the ball attaches.
In bumper hitch

Even close like it could be pressed in? Just looks like it fits there since it's the same thickness. That would be my only guess is a sleeve for the ball.
Youve' probably figured this out already but I'll throw it out anyway.
That litttle reducer sleeve is an interference fit. So don't file it down.
You can usually press it in using the 3/4" ball shank and nut as a press. Just tightening the nut on the shank with the sleeve centered in the reciever hole. That will press the sleeve into the reciever hole.
A big hammer and an old socket will drive it out of the hole if you don't have a press.
Must be a quality hitch part, as the cheaper ones don't supply that part usually.
Nice!
