Question:
I have a 17,000# hitch setup 2012 F250 short bed crew cab with a 2.5inch shank. I have the Reese trunion setup with a hitch head that needs to be replaced along with the trunion bar heads due to wear. The hitch head I have looks like RP58167, but I cant find any info as to whether it fits the 2.5inch shanks or the 2inch shanks. What do I order to get the head that fits the 2.5inch shank?

Expert Reply:
The Reese Replacement Head, part # RP58167, is the correct head for Reese trunnion bars in the Reese 17K Titan Weight Distribution System, part # RP66006.
It will attach to the Reese Titan Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54976, which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch. This shank is 15 inches long and has a 5-1/4 inch rise and a 1-1/4 inch drop. It will also fit the Reese Titan Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54977, which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch and is 15 inches long with a 8-1/4 inch rise and a 5-3/4 inch drop.
The 17K Reese weight distribution system will use the Reese Replacement Trunnion Head, part # 58097. This head is for the 1700-lb trunnion spring bars used in the # RP66006 system. If you need the trunnion spring bars and the heads it would be Reese Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar, part # 66010.
I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Reese 17K weight distribution system.
