Shank offers up to a 7" rise and a 3" drop for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Measures 12" long and fits 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitches.

Had bought a new F-250 with a 2-1/2" receiver so needed a new shank. Bought this one and turned out I needed all of the 7" rise to accommodate the tall suspension on our Outdoors RV trailer. Works perfect, and is a brute, all solid steel. Only downside is that with the Blue Ox ball mount it weighs maybe 70 pounds. A little hard to handle. Exceeds the 18,000 pound capacity of our hitch, so no worries at all. Very pleased.



by:

Bought a new SuperDuty with a Class V (2 1/2") receiver but my existing Eqaul-i-zer setup was for a 2" receiver. After some investigating, I ordered a replacement shank for my setup and it worked perfectly! Dealing with etrailer.com was accurate, fast, and easy. I received my order a couple of days early! Thanks again, you are now my "go to" source for all things trailer.



by:

Great distribution hitch shank. Fits way better than other companies shanks, took up all the slop the distribution hitch had inside the receiver



by:

This weight distribution shank worked perfectly to upgrade my existing 2” shank to a 2 1/2” shank to fit my truck receiver better and do away with a sloppy adapter. It works as advertised and I receive it within a few days after my order. Thank you for the great service!

Quality heavy hitch shank



by:

Hey George, if this mail goes thru. I adapted a set up for the hitch when i park. I used 2 pieces of welded angle iron and welded the adapter to them. Then i bolted the assembled part to the a frame, behind battery box.



by:

Stepped up from the 2" version of this shank after stepping up to a truck with a 3" receiver. Exact replacement for the old shank, albeit with less play due to reducers. Will be towing a 38' TT from AZ to IL in the upcoming week and am now looking a bit more forward to the tow!

very heavy duty
bolt holes correctly
spaced for my wt distribution hitch

Item received with poor packaging, rusted and scratched. Had to prep and paint to make look new.

I am sorry that it arrived in this condition. Let me send this over to customer service for them to look into some sort of compensation.



by:

This is a perfect replacement for my blue ox 2 inch receiver shank. This shank is 2.5 inches and fits great. No more sleeve to take up the space from 2inch to 2.5 inch.



by:

Shaft is pretty solid and hefty , fits the hitch pretty tight , everything swapped over from other shaft I was given when I bought the camper and had almost 2.5 inches of play including the insert from 2.5 to 2 inch.



by:

Excellent, this product allows me to set my ball at the correct height to pull my trailer level



by:

Order was fast and quick. I wanted to upgrade the hitch and arms to the 14K from the 10K Equalizer set up. The arms are larger giving me the added lift I needed. I also was tired of the additional play in my Ford OEM receiver so I ordered from them the 21/2" stinger. I transferred hardware over including the ball and everything is much better. I have little to no play now trailer is level and all sway is gone. Thank you etrailer for always recommending the right products and having what I need. I will always use you and recommend you to all my friends!



by:

Not only did the part fit perfectly but arrived a day early. This has been a great company to deal with.



by:

Product is exactly what I order. Fast delivery
Thank you



by:

The 2 1/2” shaft works great on my F 250. It eliminates the need for a sleeve when using a 2” shaft. The 2 1/2” shaft fit my existing Equalizer hitch with no problems.



by:

Fits perfectly, now the slop is gone from the 2” shank and the 2”/2 1/2” adapter. Actually arrived a day early.

No problems, fits and works as expected.



by:

I have been using a spacer to increase my 2 inch shank to a 2 1/2 inch. Too much play was starting to occur in and it was noticeable on starts and stops when towing my airstream. This fit perfectly, and was easy to replace the original 2 inch shank. Shipping was easy arrived on time and very satisfied with my purchase. I’ve ordered other items from each trailer and they have always been exactly as I ordered it on time.
Thank you E trailer Dr. Dean .



by:

Incredibly fast delivery! I was amazed first of all by how fast I received it but most of all the quality of the product. I highly recommend using them



by:

My 2" square shank with 2" to 2 1/2" adapter was very sloppy in my Silverado 2500 HD receiver and I noticed the pin hole was beginning to elongate slightly due to the slop. This 2 1/2" weight distribution shank proved to be a direct replacement for the Eaz Lift WD set up I have and works perfectly. It fits very well into my receiver with minimum slop and the corners are beautifully machined. I'm sure the pin hole elongation problem will be minimized now. Great product and recommended.

Works great. No issues.



by:

I'm thankful to find this shank that is already adapted to fit my stock heavy duty hitch which is 1/2" larger than what is common on most tow packages. Being able to use this instead of an adapter collar is a pure solid feel, one less part to keep track of and a fair price. Thank you for the quick shipping and good customer service to ensure me this was the part I was looking for.

This is one heavy duty shank. The initial adjustments I made to it have stayed in place and no back off of any bolts.



by:

Great product



by:

The product does what it was made to do;however the condition it was received looked used. Much of the paint was scratched off. The box arrived in excellent condition so it must have been shipped that way. You buy something new you don't expect to have to paint it.



by:

The communication on packing and delivery was great
The product is exactly what I needed

  • Replacement 2-1/2 Inch Shank for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
    You do not need to replace your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800. As you suspected, a new shank is all it will take to get you going again. Fastway doesn't have one for a 2-1/2" receiver, but Equal-i-zer who makes Fastway does. We have the following options available: -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 8" Rise, 4" Drop # EQ90-02-4800 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch...

  • Weight Distribution Shank for a 2-1/2" Hitch That is Compatible with a Fastway e2 System
    We do have a 2-1/2" shank that you can use for your Fastway e2, but there is not one specifically from Fastway. The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4700 will fit in a 2-1/2" hitch and has comparable specs as the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4100. The # EQ90-02-4700 is 12" long with a 7" rise and 3" drop. If you are needing a different rise or drop distance, please let me know what you need and I would be happy to recommend the best 2-1/2" shank for your Fastway...

    Hi Joe, Yep, you heard correct, you can go from a 2 inch shank to a 2-1/2 inch shank with your Reese weight distribution hitch without issue. One of the following 2-1/2 inch shanks should have the right rise/drop for your application. Here are the max rise/drops: - Max 7" Rise, 3" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4700 - Max 10" Rise, 6" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4900 - Max 13" Rise, 9" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight...

  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System for Jayco Eagle HT 312 BHOK Travel Trailer
    The Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems aren't RV specific. The correct system for your needs will depend on the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your Travel Trailer (which will include the weight of any cargo stowed in the tow vehicle behind its rear axle). The # EQ64FR 1600 lb TW system is designed for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 1200-1600 lbs and is compatible with 2-1/2 inch receivers. The # EQ37140ET 1400 lb TW rated system is designed for 1000-1400...

    I have another option for you, but since the Uriah Products Aluma-Tow HD8 8" Ball Mount UT625810 you have has the adjustment holes in the shank 1" apart it will not work with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW - Without Shank # FA94-00-1033 as it requires adjustment holes that are 1-1/4" apart. Instead I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 which will work perfectly with the # FA94-00-1033...

  • Availability of 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch With 2-1/2" Shank
    Although we do not have one that comes with it under a single product number like the # EQ64FR, it is simple enough to put it together. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37141ET does not include a shank so you can add whichever one you need.

  • Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2 inch Hitch 3 inch Drop
    The Equal-I-Zer shank part # EQ90-02-4500 that you referenced fits a 2 inch hitch. For a similar shank that fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch you'd want the part # EQ90-02-4700. This has same 3 inch drop.

  • Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2 Trailer Hitch Receivers
    Most of our weight distribution systems do not come with a 2-1/2" shank. Some do but your options are limited at that point. The best solution I have for you would be to choose the weight distribution system you want without a shank, and use a 2-1/2" shank which is sold separately to allow you to use the system on your 2014 Ram 3500. The shank does not have to be the same brand as the weight distribution system you are using it on. The only thing you will need to know in order to choose...

  • Can an Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System be Used with a 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Reducer
    The best option would be to replace the shank that came with Equal-I-zer system # EQ37100ET with one that fits directly in a 2-1/2 inch receiver. There are 3 Equal-I-zer options: # EQ90-02-4900 with 6 inch drop or 10 inch rise # EQ90-02-4800 with 4 inch drop or 8 inch rise # EQ90-02-4700 with 3 inch drop or 7 inch rise For some 2-1/2 inch hitches the use of a reducer sleeve such as # C45405 will reduce the capacity of the hitch so I would check on that first before getting a sleeve if...

  • How To Determine The Correct 2-1/2" Shank For Reese Weight Distribution Hitch?
    I would be happy to recommend the correct weight distribution shank for your Reese weight distribution hitch, but with out knowing the exact system you have there are two different shank styles, so you will want to pick the one that matches your current shank. If the shank on your system has does not have a channel like the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 this would be a perfect option as it will work with the 2-1/2" receiver in your new Ford...

  • Reducer Sleeve for Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System in 2-1/2 Inch Receiver of 2016 Ford F350
    The reducer sleeve does need to be a bit smaller than the interior dimension of the receiver or it could become stuck. Typically a bit of 'slop' between the shank and the receiver or in this case, the reducer and shank isn't much of a concern with a weight distribution system because the spring bars of the system are applying a good deal of upward leverage against the receiver. This is almost always enough leverage to prevent the shank from rattling around. Not in your case, however. Since...

    Both of those part numbers belong to the same shank. It is the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4700. This shank fits a 2-1/2" Hitch, it has a 7" rise, and a 3" drop. This shank is made in the USA and has a 16,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,600 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • 2-1/2 Inch Shank for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
    Great question. Unfortunately we don't do trade ins but you can sell your shank locally to recoup some of the money for the purchase of a 2-1/2 inch compatible shank. For that shank, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 or for a larger drop use Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900.

    First you will want to confirm what your tongue weight is that you will be towing with. You can do this with a tongue weight scale like the etrailer scale # e99044. This will ensure that you have a weight and sway distribution hitch that is correct for your 2019 Venture SportTrek travel trailer.

None are any longer than the others, with each being 12" and having a tongue weight capacity between 600 and 1,600 lbs; the only differences between the shanks are the rise and drop they offer.

  • Can a 2-1/2 WD Shank be Used with a System that Uses a 2 Shank
    Most WD shanks that fit a 2-1/2" receiver taper down to the normal 2" receiver size, just like the Equal-i-zer Shank # EQ90-02-4700. The only thing that you need to be sure of is that the mounting holes are in the same space. I have linked a photo displaying the dimensions I referenced for you.

  • Can Other Brands of Weight Distribution Heads be Used with Equalizer Shank # EQ90-02-4700
    Yes, the Equalizer Shank part # EQ90-02-4700 that you referenced can be used with other brand weight distribution heads. Basically all of the WD system manufacturers decided to use the same dimensions for their heads and shanks so all of the shanks are interchangeable. The # EQ90-02-4700 is a great solution for fitting a system in to a 2-1/2 inch hitch.

This shank has the same rise/drop as the one that came with the above system but has the larger 2-1/2" shank that will fit securely inside the receiver tube opening on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500.

  • Which Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution for 8000 lb GVWR Travel Trailer
    Since tongue weight is approximately 10 to 15% of the trailer's fully loaded and ready to tow weight, let's start out with the premise that your Imagine 2500 RL has a tongue weight between 800 and 1100 lbs. In that case, I can highly recommend the Equal-i-zer # EQ37121ET which is specifically designed for trailers with a tongue weight between 800 and 1200 lbs (make sure you include cargo stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle as tongue weight). The system includes the 2-5/16 inch...

    The best way to proceed is to definitively identify the tongue weight of the trailer when it's loaded as it typically would be when you tow. I'll link to an article that explains a few ways to do this, but the easiest method is to use a tongue weight/payload scale like the etrailer, part # e99044. I attached a video and an article to help you with this. Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches are what I most often recommend, because of how well they're constructed and how amazingly well...
