• Weight Distribution Shank to Adjust for Taller Height of 2019 Ford Pickup
  Ford trucks are getting taller and this can sometimes cause towing complications. The good news is that weight distribution shanks are standardized for hole size and hole spacing. This allows them to be interchangeable between brands. Since you have a reducer sleeve in your 2-1/2-inch hitch you will have that many more to choose from since you can use either a 2-inch shank with the reducer or a 2-1/2-inch shank by itself. All of the WD shanks we offer appear on the page I linked...

• How to Find the Correct Drop When Using Weight Distribution System
  What you need is a shank that will offer you the right amount of drop and to know what you need you are going to have to take a couple measurements. First, make sure both your 2018 Ram 2500 and Keystone Hideout Travel Trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the difference between the two measurements, which is the amount...

• Needing 8-1/2 Inch Drop Shank for Trunnion Bar Weight Distribution System
  The deepest drop shank we offer for a 2 inch receiver is the Reese # RP3344 which would give a maximum drop of 7-5/8 inches when used with a Trunnion bar system. This will leave your trailer a bit less than an inch nose-high, which is certainly within the range of acceptability.

• Recommended Drop Shank for Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System on 2017 Ford F-250 4x4
  Since you have the "upside down V" it sounds like you need a shank that has a lower adjustability.

• Does Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount Work With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System?
  The shanks on Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems (WDS) such as the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4400, are designed for that application, so the Weigh Safe WS10-25-1G would not be compatible. If you are looking for a WDS that is compatible with a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver, you have a number of options. Before choosing a system, you would need to know the total tongue weight (TW) of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer, which is comprised of your trailer's tongue weight...

• Suggestions For Leveling Trailer With Weight Distribution System On New Truck
  The ground clearance of 3-1/2 inches you said you would have with the # C17125 shank would be a problem and I would not recommend making that change. You said you are about 2 inches too high with the # EQ90-02-4400 shank. Before you purchase a new shank you may want to try shifting some of the weight in the trailer forward. This would add a bit of tongue weight and may be enough to get it more level. You still want to make sure you do not exceed 15 percent weight for your tongue weight....

After investigating a few shanks, the best one to fit your needs is the Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution shank # EQ90-02-4400. This shank will fit on...

  Sounds like you just need a larger drop weight distribution shank for your WD system. This is a very common problem with newer vehicles as they make them taller and taller.

• Choosing Weight Distribution Shank for Reese Trunnion Bar System on Lifted Truck
  To choose the correct weight distribution shank, you will still want to subtract your coupler's height from your trailer's receiver height, thank you for providing these measurements. For your truck and trailer set-up, you will want a shank that will allow you to have a drop of 7 inches. With your Reese trunnion bar system, I recommend using the Reese Weight Distribution Shank, Drop Only # RP3344.

• Difference Between a Drop for Round Bars and Drop for Square Bars in Weight Distribution Shanks
  Choosing a weight distribution shank with the right amount of drop (or rise) depends a lot on the weight distribution system you have. The reason there are different options, round, square, and trunnion, is because the different types have the bars positioned in different places. The square bar categories are exclusively Equal-I-Zer brand shanks since they have square bars. If you find a shank that seems like it would work for you view the specs on its page to see the rise and drop....

• Should a 9 Inch Long or 12 Inch Long Shank Be Used with Weight Distribution and Ram Pickup Truck
  Going with the longer weight distribution shank would not be a problem and the little bit of additional clearance could be beneficial for turning or potentially for lowering the tailgate. That is why I recommend the 12 inch shank, # EQ90-02-4400.

• Sizes of Available Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shanks
  The shanks included with most weight distribution systems, such as part # EQ90-02-4400, use standardized hole sizes and hole spacing for the vertical portion to which the weight distribution head assembly attaches. The other (horizontal) part of the shank that fits into the vehicle hitch receiver opening can be either 2 x 2-inches like part # EQ90-02-4400 that you referenced or 2-1/2- x 2-1/2-inches as with part # EQ90-02-4900.

• Replacement Shank for Equal-I-zer 4,000 Pound Weight Distribution Systems
  For your 4,000 pound Equal-I-zer weight distribution system I recommend shank # EQ90-02-4340. It has the proper hole diameter to mount the head to the shank (5/8 inch). You can also use # EQ90-02-4240 or # EQ90-02-4140. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4400 has the mounting holes with a 3/4 inch diameter. The head on your 4K Equal-I-zer system should be using 5/8 inch diameter bolts so it would not work with this shank.

• How to Determine Best Weight Distribution System
  No, if you use a weight distribution system on your trailer that is rated higher than you need, your trailer will be bouncing. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll want to verify...
