Shank offers up to a 7" rise and a 3" drop for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Measures 12" long and fits 2" x 2" trailer hitches.by: Joseph10/18/2023
This is a BEEFY hitch shank. Works perfect with my Equal-i-zer weight distribution system.
by: Robert 07/28/2023
The original shank that came with the hitch had been cut off short, to stop dragging the ground when I was out Boondocking. Now I have had the axles flipped to raise the trailer higher, so I needed to flip the shank pointing up to get the correct ball height. The shank also needed to be back to its original length. Now the trailer rides level and the shank will not drag.
It shipped the same day as my order, and UPS got it to me in 2 days. Great products and service from Etrailer.

Etrailer.com had the right product at the right price and FAST shipping - highly recommended

I needed parts to complete a 4 point sway control WD Equalizer. Allison K.in customer service took my order and personally made sure that the order shipped on time to meet my needs. It was a pleasure to do business with etrailer. Parts arrived ahead of schedule and the shipping was free. I'm a happy camper!
by: Larry V01/23/2023
Exactly what was required to adapt our existing Equalizer Hitch to a new truck. Shank was in stock at the best price available anywhere, and shipping was free. The description shows a 1,400 lbs TW, the shank is actually rated for 1,000 lbs TW and 10,000 lbs GTW (per specs stamped into the shank).
by: George 04/07/2023
The shank is what I ordered, I have ordered from E-Trailer several times and have been pleased with everything I've ordered and received.
by: Wilbur T01/26/2023
It is exactly what I wanted. Ordering through E-Trailer was easy and very efficient. Keep up the good work! Made in the USA! Thank you.
by: Ronald06/03/2023
It looks like it will do the job. I will have to paint it again due to the paint being chipped.
by: Dean 09/18/2022
Two thumbs up! Raised my hitch up exactly where I needed it to be to tow my travel trailer at the right height.
by: Bill A.07/19/2018
I placed an order for a shorter Equal-i-zer shank, a hitch lock, and some bar pins. Some of the pins were on back order so etrailer split the order shipment and I was able to install the new parts in time for our trip to the Olympic National Park. This is my fourth order with etrailer and each transaction has been great. They have great products and outstanding service. No time for a photo because we are departing for the park.
Thank you Susan H.
by: Old C07/12/2022
Perfect solution for the new travel trailer. I needed to raise the ball height for proper setup of my WD hitch and this product was perfect for the task! Etrailer ordering was easy, delivery was fast and all is well for our next trip.
by: Richard 07/10/2023
Same as above
by: James04/26/2022
I purchased this from etrailer because it was 'authentic' and USA Made. There are others that claim to be the Equalizer brand but Country of Origin was not USA. Equalizer proudly claims USA. So for this product I give 5 stars. However.....
Shipping is listed as 2 day shipping. I feel this is a little misleading. My order was placed on 4/16 (Saturday) with a delivery date of 4/19. I understand it was a weekend so it wouldn't go out until Monday. Product shipped late on 4/18 but didn't receive an origin scan until 4/19. Was finally delivered on 4/21 - 2 days after it was shipped. So technically, they are correct - received it 2 days after it was 'shipped' (well really 3 days). Not 2 days from when it was ordered.
So if you are counting on that delivery date listed at time of order, in my opinion, don't.
by: Tim09/10/2017
Purchased this item because my rv dealer installed the wrong shank on my equalizer hitch. I haven't towed with it yet, but so did install the hitch to the shank. All good so far. Item arrived fast from etrailer and despite the item being fairly heavy it survived in the box.
I'm using this shank on a 2012 f150 FX4 towing a 32 foot travel trailer.
by: Reginald03/12/2020
Everything came in the package and the product came earlier than I expected. Installing it was fairly easy. However the only thing that proved difficult was Torquing the ball down on the hitch head which luckily [RV dealer] was good enough to do that for me. I am happy With the product and looking forward to using it.
by: Ben 12/24/2022
Just exactly what I needed. Heavy duty, well built. Thanks.
by: Highway08/27/2021
A hitch shank is sort of like an anvil; as long as it is the correct size it can't be hurt. The shipping box was pretty much destroyed when it arrived the the shank was still just fine.
Your detailed tracking information is great! Customer knows every stop along the route to the final destination..
by: John03/30/2013
Great service and fast shipping at a great price. This is the second order I have placed and both were shipped fast with no problems. Follow-up and tracking were great too! etrailer is my goto place for all my towing needs... My first order was a complete Equal-i-zer system. The Equal-i-zer setup is the best by far. Using it on my RV.
by: Jason02/15/2022
High quality shank I ordered with the hitch head and ball. The Equa-lizer distribution/sway system is top notch and maybe in the USA! It came a day earlier than expected as well!
by: Jacob 09/13/2022
Order delivery was vary fast, box was tore up but that's from the chunk of steel I ordered lol vary pleased of service thank you.
by: Gregory08/22/2020
I appreciate that e-trailer had the medium size shank on stock. Other suppliers only had the long shank which I would have had to cut off.
by: Michael D07/12/2016
All the Equal-i-zer products seem robust, and the company is one of the oldest in the business. Great service from etrailer to boot.
by: James 11/06/2020
Etrailer was the only firm that had this shank in stock that I needed in time to use my trailer for an event. They insured the order was processed and I got the product in 48 hours. It fit great and got me on the road. Courteous and quick service.
by: Bernard06/01/2018
Second time buying things from etrailer. Excellent service! Stuff installed and working great!!

- What Does Equalizer Shank part # EQ90-02-4100 WeighThe actual weight of the Equalizer Shank part # EQ90-02-4100 that you referenced is 21 lbs.
view full answer... - Recommended 2-1/2 Inch Equalizer Weight Distribution Shank with More Drop Based on the pictures you attached (thank you!) it looks like you have the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4100 that allows for a drop of up to 3 inches from the top of the hitch receiver opening. The adjustment portion of the shank has an overall height of 9-1/2 inches, which matches up to what you currently have. The 2-1/2 Inch Equalizer Shank # EQ90-02-4900 that you referenced allows for a greater drop of up to 6 inches. It features a height of 11-1/2 inches on the...

- How to Determine What Rise/Drop That is Needed for Weight Distribution SystemTo determine how much of a Rise or Drop you would need so that your towing setup is level you will need to compare some measurements. Start off my parking your 2017 GMC on level ground and then measuring from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. You will then want to park your trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the top of your receiver opening is taller (which is most likely the case) you will want to subtract the height of the...
view full answer... - Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Shank that has More than 3 Inches of DropThere are other shanks you can use that offer more drop so you can tow the trailer level. For example shank # EQ90-02-4400 offers up to 9 inches of drop. To determine the amount of drop you will need there are a couple of measurements to take. First, level the trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. On the truck measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. The difference will be the amount of drop you will need.
view full answer... - Can Spring Bars of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System be Changed to Change RatingYes, you can just replace the spring bars and head of your current system to change the weight rating. All you would need is the part # EQ90-01-1099 for a set of bars and # EQ90-02-1000 for the head that are rated lower at 1,000 lbs tongue weight.
view full answer... - Weight of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemThe head unit of the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37101ET weighs a little over 20 lbs while the pair of spring bars weigh about 35 lb (total, not each). This system does not come with a shank so depending on the rise or drop you need you can use Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 8" Rise, 4" Drop # EQ90-02-4200 or Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 12" Long - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4100. I've added links to video reviews of the Equal-i-zer system for you...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2,800 lbs Travel Trailer Weight distribution systems are recommended based on the tongue weight. Typically this is 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight which would give you a range of 280 lbs to 420 lbs. With this in mind I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37040ET. This system has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line behind your Tundra when you get passed on the highway or encounter a strong gust of wind. A 2" shank and 2" hitch ball...
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Inch Shank for Weight Distribution System that Came w/ a 2-1/2 Inch ShankYes, there is. You will want the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4100. This is the 2" shank that will work great with your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System item # EQ64FR.
view full answer... - How Much Does the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET WeighThe Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET that you referenced has a shipping weight of 109 lbs so it is a little hefty like the majority of WD systems out there. If you take away a few pounds for the shipping materials you are left with about 105 lbs. The Spring Bar # EQ90-02-1099 weighs in at about 17 lbs so if you removed both that would be 34 lbs, making the leftover weight 69 lbs. Keep in mind that there are some other components that you will not be removing at the same...
view full answer... - Will Blue Ox SwayPro Shank Work With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemMost weight distribution system shanks are universal so you can swap them out but for certain systems that use washers for head tilt, the face of the shank most be flat so the one for a Blue Ox Sway Pro will not work. That said, we do have plenty that will such as the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4100. I have attached a full list of options below.
view full answer... - What is Shortest Weight Distribution Shank Front to BackThe Equal-i-zer weight distribution shanks like the part # EQ90-02-4100 are the shortest from the hitch pin hole to the holes of the shank at 8 inches.
view full answer... - Replacement Shank and Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System It sounds like you are just needing to replace the adjustable shank for your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. If this is the case, then all you need is the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4100. This will work perfectly with your existing system and features up to a 7 inch rise or a 3 inch drop. I have attached a short video demonstration on this part that you can also check out. We do also have replacement heads for the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems if that...
view full answer... - Solution for a Shank on a Equal-i-zer WDS That Drags When Backing UpYes, using a shorter shank for your WDS would eliminate the dragging you're experiencing. To get you set up, I'd need to know the current length of your shank, the tongue weight of the shank, and approximately how much shorter you'd wager it'd need to be. For instance, if you had the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4214 you'd definitely see a benefit in your situation if you used the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4100.
view full answer... - Recommended Shank with More Drop for Equal-i-zer 6K Weight Distribution SystemIn order to use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37061ET you'll need to purchase the shank separately. For this, we have a few options depending on the rise/drop requirements. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4100 which has a 7" rise or 3" drop. I have attached a full list of options below, brand does not matter. The MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount won't work as the dimensions are not correct and it's hollow.
view full answer... - Need Shank Like What Is Included With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemsThe shank that typically is included with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution system, if you purchase it with one is part # EQ90-02-4100 which will offer up to a 7 inch rise or a 3 inch drop. Since you have a 1-1/2 inch height difference between the trailer coupler and receiver height, the # EQ90-02-4100 would absolutely the the correct weight distributing shank for your needs.
view full answer... - Replacement Shank for Curt Weight Distribution Shank # 17120The Equal-i-zer shank part # EQ90-02-4100 would work great with your current kit part # EQ37141ET. Sorry to hear about your # 17120 breaking.

- How Much Does the 6,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System WeighThe 6,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution (WD) System # EQ37060ET weighs about 10 lbs less than the 10,000 lb System # EQ37100ET. It has a shipping weight of 98 lbs so if you take away about 5 lbs for the shipping cartons that leaves you with about 94 lbs. If you are concerned about moving it around, the spring bars # EQ90-02-0699 weigh about 14 lbs each, the shank # EQ90-02-4100 weighs about 20 lbs, and the head unit # EQ90-02-1000 weighs about 21 lbs. These are the biggest components...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution Shank for Equalizer EQ37100ET with More Drop Than Stock ShankI do have a solution for you, but you will need to use a weight distribution shank that is compatible with your Equalizer # EQ37100ET weight distribution system and not one that has been altered. I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 12" Long - 7" Rise, 3" Drop - 600 to 1,400 lbs TW # EQ90-02-4100, which is compatible with your Equalizer system. This keeps your warranty in tact and is the best solution for this problem. If you need something with more drop then you can...
view full answer... - Longer Weight Distribution Shank for Helping with Tailgate ClearanceThe numbers you mentioned are related to the height setting of the weight distribution system and not the length you are asking about which would give you more tailgate clearance. For a similar shank that would give you more clearance you'd want the part # C17122 which is compatible with the system you have now and is 14 inches long where it counts instead of 8 inches like the shank you have now.
view full answer... - Replacement Head and Shank for Equal-i-zer 6K Weight Distribution SystemIn order to complete your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37060ET you will need a few different components which I have attached for you below. Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-02-0600 Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4100 2" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ91-00-6080 Replacement Bolts for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Head part # EQ90-02-9100
view full answer... - Upgrading the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemYes, you are correct in that you will need to upgrade your spring bars if you have exceeded the tongue weight capacity of your weight distribution system. However, the Replacement 1,000 Lb. Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-01-1099 are 1-3/8" wide and the the Replacement 1,200 Lb. Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems are 1-1/2" wide. Therefore in order to upgrade the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control part...
view full answer... - Replacement Shank, Head and Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ETFor your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4100, which has a maximum rise of 7 inches and a maximum drop of 3 inches. For the system head, you will use the Equal-i-zer Replacement Head # EQ90-02-1000. This is designed specifically for the 1,000 pound tongue weight system you have and for the compatible 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you will use # EQ91-00-6100.

view full answer... - How To Measure Trailer Frame Rail To Confirm Fit Of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemThe maximum frame height mentioned for the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37061ET is the actual size of the trailer's frame rails and not the ground clearance. You will need to measure your trailer's frame as the Equal-i-zer will not be able to bolt to your trailer if it's frame rails are larger than 6" tall. I included a diagram showing the measurement mentioned. The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4300 will be great at ensuring that you have enough...

It has been about a year and approximately 4000 mile of towing with the Equal-i-zer hitch setup. The weight distribution and sway control have worked flawlessly and we have not noticed any problems with cross winds or passing 18 wheedlers. This is the third weight distribution hitch I have had and by fat the best.
