• Best Weight Distribution Shank for a 2018 Ram 2500

• Will the Curt 2-1/2 Inch Weight Distribution Shank Work With 2 Inch Weight Distribution Head
  The Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # C17132 is just what you need to use a weight distribution system on a trailer hitch with 2-1/2" receiver tube opening without using a 2-1/2" to 2" sleeve adapter. The shank does narrow down for use with a standard weight distribution head. In other words, the weight distribution head for a 2-1/2" hitch is the same for a 2" hitch.

• Is it Safe To Use a 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve With a Weight Distribution Trailer Hitch?
  There is no problem using a 2-1/2" to 2" Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e26YR with a weight distribution hitch. This way you will not need to replace your Shank # C17132 unless you have a significantly taller receiver on your new 3/4 ton truck.

• What Air Bags and Weight Distribution System For 2023 F-250 Pulling Trailer with 1,000lbs TW?
  Hello Dan, Definitely on the right road to a smoother ride (pun intended). I would say that you knowing you are on the heavier end of the tongue weight you are safe finding one around the 1k mark. You just want to make sure you are closer to the tongue weight than the trailer weight. I am not sure how much you are looking to spend, but I set up my brother-in-law up with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # BW28FR and he has nothing but great things to say about...

• Will The Curt C28KR Ball Platform Work With A Weight Distribution Shank C17132
  Hello Chris. The Curt # C28KR ball platform for the Rebellion XD will NOT fit on a # C17132 weight distribution shank. The channel isn't wide enough. The channel is about 1-1/2 inches wide, and the WD shank is 2" wide. The C28KR ball platform is only compatible with the Curt Rebellion XD ball mount, which is currently unavailable. If you want to use the # C17132 WD shank to tow, I suggest simply using the head unit and ball from your weight distribution hitch. If you need a new head unit,...

• What Equal-i-zer Shank is Closest to Curt 17132 Shank Size?
  Hey Aaron, thanks for reaching out! The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ94FR will be your best bet since it has a 9" drop compared to the 9-1/4" drop from your Curt Shank # C17132. If you can let me know what exact amount of drop you're needing I can check and see if we have any that are closer to what you're needing. The slop you're seeing is normal for all things towing. Hitch receiver and ball mount manufacturers know that there are tolerances on both sides of the equation...

  Hey Duelly! Yes, you can use the Curt # C17132 or # C17131 with your Reese system. Most weight distribution hitches use a standard shank that crosses over between brands.

• Can Curt Heavy-Duty Dual Ball Attachment for Weight Distribution Shanks Have 20k Capacity
  Hey Luke, yes the Curt ball adapter part # C29NR does fit the weight distribution shank you have now and since the shank was designed for 2.5 inch hitches it would give you the full 20k capacity. The part # C45927 is a different approach to the same thing but is basically a 20k adjustable ball mount like you said you'd want as well. I wouldn't say it's better but since you already have the shank I'd go with the # C29NR.

• Can I Add a Receiver to My Curt Weight Distribution Shank?
  Hello Scott. No, the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2.5" Hitches # C17132 has not been tested with an extra receiver so it is not rated for one, so there is not one that will work with that shank. To accomplish what you are trying to do, I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-924. Basically this part is going to turn your one receiver on the back of your Jeep into 4 receivers. It will be (4) 2 1/2" receivers, so if you are looking to add a hitch...

• Will I Need a Longer Weight Distribution Shank if I Switch to a Lifted Truck?
  If you only have the shank that came with your Blue Ox SwayPro system, then you will almost definitely need a longer shank to tow with a lifted F-350. The good news is the brand isn't all that important because most shanks are interchangeable between brands and we can help you figure out what size shank you will actually need. I attached a help article to this page that talks about how to find the correct rise or drop for a ball mount. Basically, you will just want to get your truck and...

• Choosing Correct Weight Distribution Shank
  To determine the amount of drop you'll need your replacement shank to have, take a height measurement from the top inside edge of the receiver tube to the ground, then measure from the bottom of the trailer's coupler to the ground (make sure trailer is level when taking the measurement) then subtract the coupler height from the hitch height. The result is the amount of drop you'll need. We do offer weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch receivers, and the hole spacing for the weight...

• Recommended 2-1/2 Shank For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch With Around 10 Of Drop
  You sure can! Weight distribution shanks are not brand specific, you will just need to make sure you use a shank that is the same style as there is two different styles. Based on your picture you will need the # EQ34FR that fits the 2-1/2" receiver on your new Ram 3500 and has 12" drop. The next closest drop available is the # C17132 which has 9-1/4" of drop. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

• Weight Distribution for Truck with Lift Kit and Trailer that Weighs 8,000 lb
  Hey Jeremy, for trucks that are lifted like yours are the best solution is a WD system that has a longer drop shank with it so that the trailer can be towed level. So the Curt shank part # C17132 that you mentioned would have the needed drop but it fits 2-1/2 inch hitches unlike what your F-150 would have. So the Equal-i-zer part # EQ90-00-1001 would work great as it has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,000 lbs and is widely considered to be the best system around. Then for a shank the...
