Today we're going to be taking a look at the Fastway E2 Weight Distribution Shank. This is designed for use with Fastway E2 Weight Distribution Systems. It can be used in either the drop or rise positions. It's going to be constructed of a sturdy steel construction, and the unit's going to feature a really nice black powder coat finish on it, to keep it safe from rust and corrosion. When you're installing this in your hitch, you slide it in the receiver tube, line up your hitch pin holes, and secure with a hitch pin and clip or hitch lock. The pin holes on this unit will accept a standard 5/8" diameter hitch pin.
Your hitch pin and clip or hitch lock are sold separately, so if you're in need of something like that, you can check out options here at etrailer.com. The product is made right here in the USA. It's designed for a 2" by 2" trailer hitch receiver. When it comes to the gross towing weight, we're looking at up to 12,000 pounds, maximum tongue weight up to 1,200 pounds. If you're using this with a round bar system, and you have the unit in a rise position, with the head assembly at the highest setting, this is going to give you a maximum rise of 7-1/2", measuring from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch, to the top of the ball platform. If you're using the drop position, and you do those same measurements with the head assembly at the lowest setting, you're looking at a maximum drop of 6".
With a trunnion bar system, maximum rise is 9-1/2", maximum drop is 4". The adjustment holes on the unit, see all those line up right there, those are separated on center by 1-1/4" apart. It's going to feature 6 holes, so the 1-1/4" measurement is your incremental height adjustment for this shank. If we take a measurement of the overall length, measuring from very front to very back, you can see that the unit measures 12" long. If we measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes, we're looking at right on 8", to the front is 9", to the back of the bar is 7". From the center of the hitch pin hole to the brace right here, that's going to give us a measurement of about 4", and then from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest point of the weld there for that support, that's actually going to measure 3-1/2". That's going to do it for today's look at the Fastway E2 Weight Distribution Shank..

Ben L - 07/19/2018Ask for Meghan! Needed several parts to configure 2 trailers, she stuck with us for over a week hers information and built some parts to do the modifications. When we were all done she found what we needed at the right price and had it shipped the same day! Thanks Meghan, if you ever need a job in Oregon I have a vacancy or I'll make one for you! 6 Ataboys for the girl! In Canada that would be an Atapeople 533798
I recently put a 5” lift and 35s on my 2012 Dodge Ram 3500. I needed a drop shank for the camper. This was the perfect drop for my setup. Put everything together and pulled my camper from NC to PA with no problems. Ordered on Saturday with 3 day shipping and received Wednesday. Very happy with my purchase. 528270
Purchased this product so we could tow our Rpod with our pick up truck instead of our van. It worked great and we had no problems with it. 656625
I have been using this for about a year now to pull my 32 ft RV. Works great on my truck 2015 ram with 6in lift and 35in tires. I even have 1 more drop adjustment left on the hitch if your truck is higher. 642812
Just what I needed to lower the ball height down so my camper is towed level. Fits my 2011 Grand Cherokee and leaves about 8 to 9 inches of clearance from the ground. 614976
Lightning fast shipping. Product as described. We ordered this for our upgraded tow vehicle, 2018 RAM 2500 4X4. We needed the additional length to accommodate our higher truck height. 613925
I have to say this was one of the fastest shipped products I have ordered. Its already on the truck and this weekend I will finalize the height adjustment. Thanks! 579679
Just as described. Needed to put trailer at the perfect towing height. Thanks! 576496
I purchased a 2016 Nissan Titan, and the hitch was 3 inches higher than my 2013 Nissan Armada. Now I have a good, adjustment on my trailer equilizer. 490541
Product showed up on time as described. 483596
Arrived on time and the item and package in perfect condition. Thanks for using UPS as they are the best. The item is just as described and at a great price. I would not hesitate to buy from you again. 464587
The detailed discription made it a lot easier getting the right part the first time 451339
My truck is lifted 12" between the larger tires and lift kit. Needed this longer shank in order to get my weight distribution hitch to level the RV I pull. Extremely heavy duty and built to last your lifetime. It won't disappoint and will handle any trailer you put behind it. 448124
Haven't actually put this on yet, but just as described and fast shipping. 432822
Own a 2500HD Silverado, needed a longer shank to lower ball in order to tow trailer level. This did the trick. Thanks 426438
Exactly what I was looking for to get me a few inches lower on my F250. Quick shipping. Thanks a bunch. 388265
This thing is built like a tank. I need more drop and this part does what I needed. 378227
Shipped quick and packed well. Our new tow vehicle put the ball 3 1/2" above the coupler. Easily switched the stabilizer ball attachment of our e2 hitch and set the ball at the right heighth. All a perfect fit. Super sturdy. Heavy and well built. 368241
Ordered this product on Tuesday, it was picked the same day and shipped out. I had my trailer set up by Friday. Great price and great service! This shank was exactly what I needed to get down to the trailer's 18" ball height using the receiver which came with my 2016 F250 4x4. Quality is great just like that of the Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch I purchase earlier. 320062
Fast accurate delivery. 255097
I haven't tried this yet but I am extremely impressed with the professionalism at etrailer. I had another part that I bought from them that I needed to exchange and they were excellent to deal with! 232798
Product works as advertised. The distribution shank that came with the "Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW" worked fine for towing with a Ford Expedition. When I bought a 3500 HD, the original distribution shank wasn't long enough due to the difference in height of the vehicles. Swapping out the distribution shank was relatively easy. Simply follow the directions for setting and leveling the hitch. 57517
