Which Gen-Y Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for Keystone Cougar
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/06/2025
Question:
Im looking at your Gen-Y GH-1202 and GH-1002. What do you recommend for a Keystone Cougar with 7740 lbs unloaded and 9500 lbs GVWR? How much do they weigh? Looks heavy.

Hey Tim, the better choice for your Keystone Cougar would be the part # GY54FR as it has the range that your travel trailer would need to give you the best ride quality. This weighs 72 lbs which I won't lie...that's pretty heavy.
