• Solution for a Shank on a Equal-i-zer WDS That Drags When Backing Up
  Yes, using a shorter shank for your WDS would eliminate the dragging you're experiencing. To get you set up, I'd need to know the current length of your shank, the tongue weight of the shank, and approximately how much shorter you'd wager it'd need to be. For instance, if you had the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4214 you'd definitely see a benefit in your situation if you used the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4100.

• How to Determine What Rise/Drop That is Needed for Weight Distribution System
  To determine how much of a Rise or Drop you would need so that your towing setup is level you will need to compare some measurements.

If the top of your receiver opening is taller (which is most likely the case) you will want to subtract the height of the...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 2021 Lance 1995 with 390-lbs Dry Tongue Weight
  You will want to choose the correct system based off of the loaded tongue weight of your trailer; this should typically be between 10% and 15% of the loaded weight of the trailer.

• How Much Does the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET Weigh
  The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET that you referenced has a shipping weight of 109 lbs so it is a little hefty like the majority of WD systems out there.
