Video Transcript for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution EQ90-02-4400 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank, this is designed for use with Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems, you can use it in either the drop or rise positions. This would be known as the rise, flip it over where this is pointing down and that would be known as the drop position. It's going to feature a 6 hole design so it's going to allow for plenty of adjustment when it comes to your weight distribution head. It's going to be constructed of a sturdy high grade steel, so that's solid steel, really nice design, we have really nice consistent welds here for the bracing and just overall it's a nice, solid durable unit. It does feature a dipped finish, so it does provide protection from rust and corrosion and the product's made right here in the USA. This is designed to slide into a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver, the pinhole diameter fr your hitch pin and clip or your hitch locks is going to be around 5/8", it'll accept a standard 5/8" diameter pin. The gross trailer weight capacity for this weight distribution shank is 14,000lbs. Tongue weight rating is from 600lbs with a max capacity of 1,400lbs. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. We're going to take a measurement of the overall shank length. Measuring from the very back to the very front, that's going to give us a shank length of 12".
The front portion, from bottom to top. I'm just going to go ahead and turn that so you can see it a little bit better, that's going to give us an overall measurement of 14". The distance that we have between the adjustment holes on center is going to be 1-1/4", that's going to be the same for all 6. Taking a measurement from the center of the hitch pinhole to the back of the upright bar it's going to measure 7". To the center of the adjustment holes to the center of the hitch pinhole it's going to be 8".
To the front of the unit to the center of the hitch pinholes is going to be 9". 9", 8" and 7". If you're using this in the rise position, it's going to offer a maximum rise of 13". If you have your head assembly at the lowest setting with this in the drop position it's going to offer a maximum drop of 9". It can adjust in increments of 1-1/4" since that's going to be our adjustment hole separation. That's going to do it for today's look at the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank.

Shank offers up to a 13" rise and a 9" drop for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Measures 12" long and fits 2" x 2" trailer hitches.by: Tony F.05/17/2017
Quick shipping. Product as described. The box was partially ripped open, but its a huge chunk of steel in a cardboard box, no big deal. Went from a 1/2 ton Chevy to a 1 ton Ford, needless to say I needed a longer shank. It looks great, very happy.
by: Kerry 11/24/2020
Great product at a reasonable price. Customer service was very helpful in determining the drop I needed and selecting the right shank.

The right shank for towing our Airstream.
Kerry - 11/25/2021by: Will10/19/2018
My order (107131659) arrived, but after test-fitting the extended shank onto my vehicle, I only have 6" of clearance on level ground. This will definitely not suffice, given the slope of my driveway.
I'm hoping to get some help. What I'm ultimately trying to do is get my tow vehicle & camper trailer's Equal-i-zer hitch set up correct so that the trailer couple and the vehicle hitch ball are relatively level with one another before the hitch is connected (as per Equal-i-zer's instructions). Unfortunately, this requires that I either lower the hitch (which, as I found, results in too low of clearance at the shank), or raise the trailer. Do you have any suggestions? What about an "axle swap," where the under-slung springs are moved to the top of the trailer's axles?
Thank you for your assistance and any recommendations you may have.
Comments
Depending on the diameter of your axle tube, it might be possible to swap the leaf springs from the underside to the top of the axle. This will gain you about the diameter of the axle as a gain in height. For a 2-38 inch diameter axle, use part K71-384-00 or for a 3 inch diameter axle, use K71-385-00.

Not much to you can say about a shank. However, the service was great. I had ordered a different (to short) shank from Amazon and it took a week to arrive and wasn't packed or wrapped with anything. The paint was chipped and the edges banged up so much it wouldn't go into the receiver with out filling the edges. etrailer had it delivered in 2 days and the custom packing was so so good I didn't think the box UPS deliver was the shank. Great job etrailer! You'll be the first place I now look for accessories for my truck and trailer.

The part is working great.

Can't say how happy I'm am with my purchase experience, good price, quick shipping, and came just as it should. Actually came quicker than expected so was able to use the new truck to pull the camper with.

This is the offset that I have been looking for. It was difficult to find - except at e-trailer!

Perfect fit for my camper set up on my 21 Ram 2500
by: Garrett G.06/05/2017
Functionally the hitch is fine. The finish on it was very bad, it looks like they got the hitch from a scratch and dent sale and sprayed on some cheap paint. The hitch was supposed to be dipped but you could see the chipped paint underneath and smell the paint they put on it. I hope it will not rust out right away.
by: Robert 09/14/2021
Great quality and fast service.
by: Lester 05/12/2020
It is excellent quality, the right size, and delivered very quickly. I am 100% satisfied.

Needed to lower the height of my hitch ball after upgrading to an HD pickup truck. This adapter did the trick!!
by: Charles 12/29/2021
It worked out well.
Thank you for your response time.
by: Charlie 03/26/2020
Good product. Came on time, and fits perfectly. Very heavy duty.
Comments
No problems. I have a heavy trailer 8,000 pounds. A lower quality hitch would not have served my needs.

Fast deliver, item as described.
by: John04/10/2017
nice web site, easy to get around and find what I was looking for. I ordered a 9" drop for my Equalizer hitch and a correct size ball. They shipped as promised by etrailer. However the train had a derailment on it's way here. I sent an inquiry as to the where about of my package and they responded the next day with the train problem. I received an email and a phone call follow up from etrailer. I wasn't expecting this great customer service from them but was VERY PLEASED with the service. Got delayed a couple days NO PROBLEM for me. Looking thru the cataloge now for my next purchase.
Thank You etrailer

Great and have had no issues with it!

in a word, SLICK
A must have.
Equalizer Weight Distribution Shank was required to fit up my Grand Cherokee to Bullet trailer. found it necessary to cut -off bottom of shank3 0r 4 inches to achieve ground clearance. Fair amount of time to dial it in but worth it. Could not be happier with the results .
by: Rgnmgr11/24/2020
Heavy duty extended drop works for my new 2020 Ram 2500 which sits higher than my previous Ram 1500.
etrailer kept me informed of my order.
by: Paul05/25/2019
Ordered a longer shank for my lifted truck and it worked perfect.nice n level to pull the toy hauler travel trailer. No wobbles no sway perfect thx!
by: Susan05/13/2017
We received our drop hitch last week, and we were not disappointed! It is a well made, heavy duty hitch. We haven't used it as yet due to having surgery and not being able to put it on the truck, but we bought it to lower our present hitch that was too high to pull our camper.
by: Nick06/30/2017
Just what we needed to make our e2 sway/weight distribution system fit our new Chevy Tahoe. We are pulling a 1961 Aristocrat Land Commander and the Tahoe's receiver is about one foot higher than the receiver on our previous tow vehicle. This shank is built like a tank and made everything fit perfectly.
by: Gary 01/23/2021
Had to cut an inch and a half off the end as it was occasionally dragging on the pavement. Was looking for a 7". Solid construction as it is made out of 2 solid pieces of steel stock.
by: Kenneth B.03/01/2019
Wow! Placed the order, two days later it is in my hands! With free shipping! I am impressed with etrailer once again! The EQ90-02-4400, 9" drop shank appears to be of the same quality as the original Equalizer short shank. While I haven't been able to install the piece as yet, I have no doubt it will work flawlessly.
5 Stars Plus to etrailer. I always recommend etrailer to anyone needing TT parts or accessories. You will not be disappointed!!

Arrived early and was exactly what I needed to raise the hitch on my SUV to match up to the trailer hitch.

I actually went out and grabbed your Husky weight distribution system and a few shanks to see what worked and what would give you the drop you needed. 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 your...

- How to Find the Correct Drop When Using Weight Distribution SystemWhat 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...

- Do Lower Mounting Holes of the Equal-i-Zer Shank # EQ90-02-4400 Affect CapacityYou can use any of the adjustment holes on the shank of the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4400 and the capacity would not be diminished. All of them have the same weight rating.
view full answer... - Compatible 9" Drop Shank For A Fastway E2 Weight Distribution SystemThe Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 12" Long - 13" Rise, 9" Drop # EQ90-02-4400 you were looking at has a 9" drop and should help level your Forest River Super Light travel trailer back out. Your Fastway E2 weight distribution system is going to be taking the load off of the rear suspension so adding the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System in as well is going to give you the bouncy, rough ride you've been experiencing. You'll want to remove them to alleviate the bounce.
view full answer... - Sizes of Available Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution ShanksThe 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.

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.

As long as your trailer is still as level as possible, then you won't have any problems.

view full answer... - Replacement Shank for Equal-I-zer 4,000 Pound Weight Distribution SystemsFor 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.
