2019 F250 setting up E2 trunnion hitch to pull an Airstream Globetrotter 25FB. This trailer is lower to ground than most and needs about 19-20 inches to the top of the ball when towing for the trailer to be level. This nine inch drop worked out perfect and still allows the set up to be adjusted one setting lower. Cant go wrong this ordering from etrailer.

One years later and this product is still working great.

Just what I needed to get the correct height to hook up my Rv weight distribution hitch on my lifted 2022 F-250. Easy to install . Adjustable height range



by:

Needed up upgrade the shank on our E4 to match the newer 3/4 ton pickup. Part arrived promptly and has worked flawlessly the entire time. Pulling an Imagine 2600RB, moving from a 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton truck was one of the best upgrades we have made.

Fits perfectly. Heavy and solid

Works well with the Ram 2500 to get the hitch height down to 17 -18 in above the ground.



by:

Worked perfectly for my truck. Is solid and I have no doubts about the strength of it. I have a 2016 Silverado 2500HD with a 7” lift and 37” tires. I could have gotten away with an 8” drop as I do have some extra holes at the bottom. If I had airbags that might be different. My trailer is also much taller than most other travel trailers.



by:

Equal-i-zer makes a quality product including this shank. Etrailer went out of their way to get the exact model I needed (which was not a stock item for them) and provided excellent customer service by keeping me informed of the status of my order. I greatly appreciate the efforts of the entire team.



by:

Got a new truck which had a 3" lift so needed a bigger drop. Ordered the 12" drop by accident and called to get it retured and get this one. Teresa was awesome and got me squared away.

Quality is great and was just wat I needed! Got the trailer leveled up and ready for spring.



by:

when I called e trailer they were very knowledgeable and helpful!



by:

Danielle h is very good at her job tell her what you want and you shall receive. I was very picky I have a 6” jacked up 2500 ram on 37” tires she got me the hitch I needed for my camper. It also was supposed to take more time to get and it delivered 5 days early. Thank you Danielle h



by:

Good alternative for bigger trucks. Still has plenty of ground clearance.



by:

Tremendous piece of Steel! It provided JUST the right amount of Drop to enable proper towing of our Airstream with the 2500 Cummins Ram.
Thanks to everyone at etrailer YET AGAIN for making another project a success.



by:

Etrailer provided excellent customer service. I had ordered a piece of equipment which was on back order and they responded quickly by notifying, helping me find a different part that arrived in 3 days.



by:

Very solid device.



by:

etrailer has always provided me with honest, professional, high quality service, and I will be happy to do business with them in the future.

The shank is Extremely heavy duty but the paint just peels away very easily. It will rust very quickly.

Thank you for the review! I wanted to share a link that talks about different ways to prevent rust, and one way is to use a rust inhibiting spray paint to touch any bare spots.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For 36' 2022 Palomino Puma Pulled By Lifted Ram 2500
    I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37121ET for towing your 2022 Palomino Puma travel trailer with your 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. This hitch is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs and total trailer weight up to 12,000lbs. To determine the correct drop shank you will need to measure the height of your receiver and compare that with the height of the coupler on the Puma. We have the following drop shanks that will fit your 2-1/2" receiver. 2-1/4" to...

  • Can You Convert to 2-1/2 Inch Shank From 2 Inch With Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
    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...

  • Recommended 2-1/2" Weight Distribution Shank
    You do not have to use an Equalizer shank with an Equalizer weight distribution like item # EQ37061ET. However, for a long drop that fits a 2-1/2" receiver you are going to want to use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank item # EQ94FR. This shank has a maximum tongue weight of 1,600 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 16,000 lbs. It has a 9" drop and extends 9" from the pin hole.

    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. We have the following available for a 2-1/2" receiver: -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 - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900 -Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution...

  • How to Determine if a Shorter Weight Distribution Shank Can Be Used
    Whether the 8' distance from the hitch pin hole to the adjustment holes on the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ94FR will be an issue or not is dependent on your truck and trailer set-up. There is not a clear yes or no, it depends on the clearances you have. If you are utilizing the whole 11" or 12" that your 2" hitch shank has, then the 8" distance would not be adequate. If you have room to spare between your truck and trailer with your current shank then the # EQ94FR may work...

  • Shank Recommendation for Fastway Weight Distribution for 2019 Ram 2500 with 2.5 inch Hitch
    Since your truck has a lift, and without a lift it sits up pretty high I would recommend a shank that fits the 2.5 inch hitch size with a bit more drop in the shank like the # EQ90-02-4900 which can do a drop of up to 6 inches or the part # EQ94FR which has a 9 inch drop.

    The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37121ET uses a shank that has bolt holes with a 1-1/4" height adjustments.

It has a maximum tongue weight of 1,600lbs and trailer weight of 16,000lbs. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ34FR has a maximum drop of 12" or a minimum drop of 8-1/4".

    The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank part # EQ94FR is what I recommend using for a 2-1/2" hitch where extra drop is needed. It offers up to 9" drop which should be plenty for most truck and trailers combos. It's cross-compatible so it will work with pretty much any system.

    You can absolutely get the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch and a 2-1/2" shank, you simply need to get the system and shank separately, starting with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution with 4-Point Sway Control - No Shank - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37121ET. Then, you just need to get the shank for a 2-1/2" receiver that has the maximum rise or drop you need: - 7" Rise, 3" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4700 - 8" Rise, 4" Drop: Equal-i-zer...

  • Can Equal-i-Zer System for 2 inch Hitch be Adapted to 2-1/2 inch Hitch with Shank Swap
    You will only need to replace the shank of your Equal-i-Zer system with one that fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch size and also provides you with the correct amount of drop to tow your trailer level. Thankfully the heads of weight distribution systems are all the same size and can be used with any hitch size as long as you match them to the correct shank. The shank part # EQ94FR is most likely the correct shank you'd need as it offers up to 9 inches of drop and does fit the 2-1/2 inch hitch size. Other...

  • Is It Safe To Use a 2-1/2 Reducer Sleeve With The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System?
    Yes, you can use a Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # C45405 safely with your Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66560. I do recommend using the Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BX88312 as this will eliminate all the play with having the additional reducer being used. We only have the Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution available with a 2" receiver shank. The only reason I would recommend switching shanks would be if you did not have enough drop with the stock shank only having...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Shank With 9" Drop For 2-1/2" Receiver On 2017 Ford F-250
    I have another option, but after speaking with my contact at Fastway the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2.5" Hitch - 10" Drop, 9" Rise - 20K # FA49-00-5925 was not designed for use with a weight distribution system and as such I do not recommend doing so. For a weight distribution shank that has roughly the same drop and rise that will work with the 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver on your 2017 Ford F-250 I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 13"...

    You can go from a 2 inch shank to a 2-1/2 inch shank with your Eaz-Lift weight distribution system. Weight distribution shanks are essentially universal so you won't have any issues. You just need a shank that has the proper rise or drop you are require. The options for 2-1/2 inch shanks are as follows, with the rise and drops listed the maximum for the shanks: - Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 - Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 13" Rise, 9" Drop...

  • How To Use Equal-i-zer 1400/14000lb Weight Distribution Hitch In 2021 Ford F-350 W/ 3" Receiver
