Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Shank for your 2 1/5-inch trailer hitch receiver. Now this shank is going to slide into your 2 1/5-inch receiver, and it does give you the attachment points that you need for your weight distribution systems head assembly. This is designed for use with the True Tow hitches with either an 8,500-pound or 12,500-pound gross towing weight. This has a minimum tongue weight of 1,200 pounds and a maximum gross towing weight of 12,500 pounds. And in this orientation, this is going to give you a maximum drop of about four inches.
When you flip this over, you're gonna get a maximum rise of about five inches with an incremental height adjustment of 1 1/4 inches. You're gonna get one, two, three, four, five, six adjustment holes as you see here. Let me go ahead and give you some overall measurements. Looking at the overall length, we're sitting pretty close to 11 inches long, maybe slightly under the overall height, right at about 8 1/4 inches tall. And then some other measurements that you might want, measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of our attachment holes or adjustment holes, pretty close to seven inches on center.
And then from the center of our hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, right at three inches. The pinhole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. This is constructed of high strength steel. It's got a great powder coat finish on it that I think is gonna last a good long time, really good welds on it as well. So if you pick this up, we'd love to hear back from you regarding how this is working out for you.
