• Best Weight Distribution Shank for a 2018 Ram 2500
  I have exactly what you need for your 2018 Ram 2500. For this, I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # C17132 which has a 2-1/2" shank that offers up to an 9-1/4" drop. According to the measurements you provided, you will need a shank with a 7-3/4" drop which means the above shank will be perfect for you. It is also the most amount of drop we offer in a 2-1/2" weight distribution shank. The hole size and spacing follows the industry standard so it will work on most other weight...

• Will the Curt 2-1/2 Inch Weight Distribution Shank Work With 2 Inch Weight Distribution Head
  The Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # C17132 is just what you need to use a weight distribution system on a trailer hitch with 2-1/2" receiver tube opening without using a 2-1/2" to 2" sleeve adapter. The shank does narrow down for use with a standard weight distribution head. In other words, the weight distribution head for a 2-1/2" hitch is the same for a 2" hitch.

• What Air Bags and Weight Distribution System For 2023 F-250 Pulling Trailer with 1,000lbs TW?
  Hello Dan, Definitely on the right road to a smoother ride (pun intended). I would say that you knowing you are on the heavier end of the tongue weight you are safe finding one around the 1k mark. You just want to make sure you are closer to the tongue weight than the trailer weight. I am not sure how much you are looking to spend, but I set up my brother-in-law up with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # BW28FR and he has nothing but great things to say about...

• Will The Curt C28KR Ball Platform Work With A Weight Distribution Shank C17132
  Hello Chris. The Curt # C28KR ball platform for the Rebellion XD will NOT fit on a # C17132 weight distribution shank. The channel isn't wide enough. The channel is about 1-1/2 inches wide, and the WD shank is 2" wide. The C28KR ball platform is only compatible with the Curt Rebellion XD ball mount, which is currently unavailable. If you want to use the # C17132 WD shank to tow, I suggest simply using the head unit and ball from your weight distribution hitch. If you need a new head unit,...

• Can Curt Deep Drop Adjustable 2-Ball Mount be Used as Weight Distribution Shank
  The width is 2-1/2 inches, the hole spacing is 1-1/4 inches, and you can 100% use the Curt Deep Drop Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C89NR as a weight distribution shank. The reason for that is because the shank that comes with the # C89NR is the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitches # C17132. Weight distribution shanks are interchangeable as well, so you can definitely use this with your Reese weight distribution hitch.

• Recommended 2-1/2 Shank For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch With Around 10 Of Drop
  You sure can! Weight distribution shanks are not brand specific, you will just need to make sure you use a shank that is the same style as there is two different styles. Based on your picture you will need the # EQ34FR that fits the 2-1/2" receiver on your new Ram 3500 and has 12" drop. The next closest drop available is the # C17132 which has 9-1/4" of drop. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

• Is it Safe To Use a 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve With a Weight Distribution Trailer Hitch?
  There is no problem using a 2-1/2" to 2" Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e26YR with a weight distribution hitch. This way you will not need to replace your Shank # C17132 unless you have a significantly taller receiver on your new 3/4 ton truck.

• Will I Need a Longer Weight Distribution Shank if I Switch to a Lifted Truck?
  If you only have the shank that came with your Blue Ox SwayPro system, then you will almost definitely need a longer shank to tow with a lifted F-350. The good news is the brand isn't all that important because most shanks are interchangeable between brands and we can help you figure out what size shank you will actually need. I attached a help article to this page that talks about how to find the correct rise or drop for a ball mount. Basically, you will just want to get your truck and...

• Choosing Correct Weight Distribution Shank
  To determine the amount of drop you'll need your replacement shank to have, take a height measurement from the top inside edge of the receiver tube to the ground, then measure from the bottom of the trailer's coupler to the ground (make sure trailer is level when taking the measurement) then subtract the coupler height from the hitch height. The result is the amount of drop you'll need. We do offer weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch receivers, and the hole spacing for the weight...

• Can I Pull A Travel Trailer With The Roadmaster High Low Adapter RM-058-4?
  The Roadmaster High Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2-1/2" Hitches # RM-058-4 is only made for flat towing because flat towing does not put much stress or tongue weight on the hitch. Whereas with trailer towing, there is always some stress and tongue weight put on the hitch and adapter. While they may work, as you have seen people do this, I still do not recommend using it in that manner. Instead, I would just use a drop hitch to accomplish this. Since your vehicle has a 2-1/2" receiver opening,...

• What Causes Loose Fit of Weight Distribution Head on 2.5" Curt Shank
  I spoke to Curt about the issue you are having with the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2.5" Hitches part # C17132. The adjustment holes on the upright are .78" +/- .05" but if you were measuring with a tape measure, it's not unlikely to get 13/16" or close. I recommend that you ensure the bolts are torqued to the proper spec and that the head tilt mechanism (if equipped) is installed properly. If you still have issue, please confirm the type of system you're using with the shank.

• Can I Use the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 with the Curt Shank # C17132 on My Ford F-350's 3" Hitch?
  Yes, the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66560 will work with the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17132 on your 2020 Ford F-350. However, in order to use the Curt shank, you will need a hitch reduced on your 3-inch hitch in order to fit the 2-1/2 shank into your receiver. For a reducer, I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408. The installation is easy to use and slides directly into your hitch or onto the Curt shank.

• Will Shank On Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch For GMC 1500 Truck Work On Chevy 2500 Truck?
  Congratulations on your new truck! Your new 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD will sit a bit higher than your older GMC Sierra 1500 2WD, so if you are currently using the hitch with it near the lowest possible drop, you will more than likely need to use a longer shank. Either way I would wait to measure and try it before placing an order for a new one. Also your new truck has a 2-1/2" receiver but includes a 2-1/2" to 2" adapter which you will need to use to keep using your current shank. If...

• 2-1/2 Inch Shank for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
  We have 2-1/2 inch shanks that will work with a Reese Strait-Line weight distribution system such as # RP66074 but you did not mention the length you had so I'll give you a couple of options for shanks that fit 2-1/2 inch hitches and you can choose the correct one. - Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4800 is 12" long, offers up to 8" of rise and 4" of drop and has a tongue weight capacity of between 600 lbs and 1,600 lbs. - Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17132 is 12-1/2" long,...

• Can Curt Heavy-Duty Dual Ball Attachment for Weight Distribution Shanks Have 20k Capacity
  Hey Luke, yes the Curt ball adapter part # C29NR does fit the weight distribution shank you have now and since the shank was designed for 2.5 inch hitches it would give you the full 20k capacity. The part # C45927 is a different approach to the same thing but is basically a 20k adjustable ball mount like you said you'd want as well. I wouldn't say it's better but since you already have the shank I'd go with the # C29NR.
