Recently purchased a new truck and the old shank wouldn’t go low enough to tow my travel trailer level. Quick delivery and good packaging. Thank you for saving camping season.

I had a specific towing issue with my van and new RV. Called eTrailer (again-repeat customer), spoke with Will and he suggested a new shank. I gave him the specific measurements for the van and RV and he put me into the Fastway 12" shank.
The part arrived a day early(!) and fits perfectly. Will was professional, enthusiastic, and excellent to deal with. This is my third time buying from eTrailer, and I can't imagine going anywhere else to get my RV parts.

Good heavy duty product. Was not packaged well though, basically raw part tossed in a to large of a box. Also, along with a 50 bearing hit. Yikes! So paint is messed up on the shank and I’d be surprised if the bearing kit is 100%.

2021 Ram 2500. if you have a later model truck this shank is the only one that is long enough to use a sway bar or trunnion hitch. Great phone help while looking!

This arrived today and I had it installed 15 minutes later. Should work perfectly on my lifted truck. The truck itself has a 6 inch lift and with 35 inch tires that adds about another inch and a half so I definitely needed a lower drop to properly pull our trailer. I did use a grinder on the Reese part to remove about a quarter size spot of paint that was sprayed a little thick but no big deal. I don’t think most people will have this problem. Just what I needed to properly pull our trailer.

Just what I needed to get my weight distribution hitch back down on my new Ram 2500 four wheel drive. Needed about 5 more inches of drop, this is perfect! Cost was less than half what the big box Camping store wanted for about the same size . Ordered on Saturday and it was on my porch by Tuesday !!! Expect this to have great match to my E2 hitch , no picture right now , camper is put away for season. Thanks again , great to deal with your company

Thank you for the prompt delivery of my hitch. It arrived just a few hours ago. With the tracking available for the delivery, I had a good idea of when to expect it and happened to be outside to meet the driver, and had the hitch installed before he pulled away! Thank you!

What can I say about a shank, works as designed. I have a Nash 25C trailer which sits pretty high when connecting to my stock Tundra. This shank coupled with the Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch worked like a champ and now my trailer is level with no sway.

Just what I needed for my 2021 GMC Yukon. The drop that was installed by the dealer wasn’t sufficient. To get the trailer level, they set it up with the weight under distributed and a considerable amount of sag to the rear of the vehicle. This shank allowed me to correct that situation, getting the trailer level and the tongue weight better distributed for a much safer ride.

Solid product. The extra length on the shank allowed me to get my ball hitch down to the proper height to allow level towing of the Airstream with my Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Diesel.

Get's the job done. I needed just a bit more than 5 inches of drop for my application - wish Fastway had offered a slightly shorter option to eliminate the excess below the trunion head and provide a bit more ground clearance.

I could not find the product I needed at the online site so I called. Your customer service person Susan answered and found the part I needed. She provided excellent service. I ordered the part, I received a confirmation number by email, and the part arrived earlier than the time she said to expect it . 5 stars.

Keep in mind that the weight of the weight distribution you use is not factored in to the total tongue weight. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the...
view full answer... - Can Spring Bars On 6000lb Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch Be Upgraded For More Tongue Weight?Since the tongue weight of your Lance 2185 Travel Trailer is 755lbs unloaded you can and should replace the spring bars, as the head assembly used for the 600lb/6000lb system is the same as the 800lb/8000lb, 1000lb/10000lb, and 1200lb/12000lb systems. To make sure you get the correct rated spring bars you will need to verify the total tongue weight of your setup which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of...
view full answer... - What Is The Maximum Drop For The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank FA92-02-4315Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4315 has a maximum of 9-3/4" drop when used with a round bar system and 8" of drop when used with a trunnion bar system. I am not sure where the 6.5" dimension you mentioned came from, but I have included detailed dimensions of the shank below for your reference.

For a Fasway system, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 12" Long - 10" Rise,...
view full answer... - Shank for Bigger Drop With Weight Distribution Hitch for 2 Inch ReceiverYes, you will need to set it up all over again for the different height of your new truck, just like you did initially. You can find out how to do this in the instruction manual of whichever hitch you currently have, like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System with 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Trailer with Tongue Weight of 500-600 lbsYou always want to check your weight ratings and how much your equipment weighs before going on a trip to make sure that you are within your weight capacities. Another thing to keep in mind is that your Tongue Weight (TW) should be between 10-15 percent of your trailer. When looking at a WD system you will want to make sure that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your loaded and ready-to-go setup falls in the middle of the range of the WD system that you choose. You can find your TTW by...
view full answer... - Looking For Weight Distribution Hitch For 2025 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Sport 170bhHey Tyler, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here. The 6K Fastway e2 WD system # FA92-00-0600 is a great choice for your 2025 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Sport 170bh. The Fastway system is designed for trailers with a tongue weight between 250 and 600 lbs and with your dry weight being 2,955 you'll be right within that tongue weight range. This means you'll get the ride leveling and sway control results you are looking for. The included shank has 2-3/4" of drop. If you need...
view full answer... - Can Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Ball Mount # BLU48CR be Used when Towing CamperHey Dollene, the Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # BLU48CR that you referenced was only designed for flat towing vehicles and would not be able to handle the tongue weight of a trailer. Are you basically just needing a way for your weight distribution system to have more drop than it has currently? If so, we have shanks like the part # FA92-02-4315 that would help accomplish that.
view full answer... - How to Create Different Height From Vehicle When Towing with Fastway e2 WD System Hey John, Are you just needing a different adjustment for the height of your Isuzu? If so, you can simply replace the adjustable shank on your existing Fastway e2 setup with something like the part # FA92-02-4214, which will provide a rise of up to 10-1/4" and a drop of up to 5-1/2" from the receiver. If you need even more of a change, the part # FA92-02-4315 features a 12-1/2" rise or a 9-3/4" drop. If you're needing something different, just let me know!
view full answer... - Shanks for Use with Fastway Weight Distribution that Offer More DropHey Charlotte, I would say it's very likely you are going to need a new shank with the Fastway Weight Distribution system part # FA94-00-0800 to allow you to have the amount of drop you'll need since this has a max drop of 3-1/2 inches. The part # FA92-02-4214 can do a drop of 5-1/2 inches and the part # FA92-02-4315 can do a drop of up to 9-3/4 inches. You'd want to measure from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and compare that to the distance from the bottom of the coupler...
view full answer... - 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...

- Recommended Drop Shank For Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System For 2-3 Inches Additional DropFor your extra drop needed with your Fastway E2 weight distribution system, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 10-3/4" Rise, 5-1/2" Drop - 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-02-4214 this will give you a little under 4 inches of additional drop from your standard shank. If you need more, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 12-1/2" Rise 9-3/4" Drop - 1.2K TW # FA92-02-4315 which will give you the additional drop you need.
view full answer... - Drop Shank Recommendation for a Lifted Truck and an E2 Weight Distribution SystemThe max drop the # FA92-02-4315 that you referenced can do is 8 inches. Since you need right at 6 inches of drop to tow your trailer level this shank would work well for you. I attached a help article link on selecting the correct rise/drop ball mount for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Drop Shank Recommendation for Trailer being Towed by Taller TruckYou definitely need a shank with more drop than what you currently have. Most likely the part # FA92-02-4315 would give you the amount drop you'd need as it has ability to provide up to 9-3/4 inches of drop but you'd want to first determine the amount of drop you'd need. I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct drop. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the...

- Do I Need A Weight Distribution System To Tow A 2400lb Camper With My 2012 Jeep Wrangler?Anytime your gross trailer weight is more than 50% of your vehicle's weight or if the rear of your vehicle sags when the trailer is hooked up you will want to use a weight distribution hitch. Since your camper weighs 2400lbs and is more than 50% of your 2012 Jeep Wrangler's estimated curb weight of 3760lbs, it is definitely recommended to use a weight distribution system.

Also, since the manual says that it only allows for up to 0.75" rise, you will not need a different shank as this has a max rise of 6" and max drop of 2". If the 0.75" rise is not enough to level your trailer, then it...

- Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2005 Jayco Jay Feather 23BThe best weight distribution system we have for your 2005 Jayco Jay Feather 23B with cost in mind is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA94-00-1033. This system will be perfect for your estimated 600-800 lbs of tongue weight as it is rated for 600-1,000 lbs. If you are slightly under the tongue weight range of this system at any given time then you need not worry but you will not want to go over this. Please note that in addition to the total tongue weight...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 6000 lb GVWR Travel TrailerActually, the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-1000 weight distribution system you'd looked at would be perfect for the travel trailer you described. It's compatible with trailers with tongue weights from 600-1000 lbs. Since your dry tongue weight is 500 lbs, that'll increase when you add the weight of gear in the travel trailer, water tanks, and propane tanks. You'll also want to add the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle as tongue weight. Once all that's added up, you...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Hitch For 5,600lb Camper With Tongue Weight Of 735lbsWhen towing a trailer that has a gross weight that is over 50 percent of the vehicle's gross weight, a weight distribution system is recommended. In order to use one weight distribution hitch for both of your trailers (camper and boat), I would go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-1033. This has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000lbs and max towing capacity of 10,000lbs, which makes it the perfect weight distribution system to handle both of your...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Fastway Weight Distribution Parts for Round Bar SystemYes, you can use the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4315, which provides 8-inches of drop, along with a Fastway WD head # FA94-02-1055 for a round bar system. Spring bars that are compatible include the 600-lb rated # FA94-02-0699 (you'll need two) and the 1000-lb rated # FA94-02-1099 (again, you'll need two). We also offer the spacer washer # FA92-04-9655, replacement bolts # FA92-02-9600 and spacer rivet # FA92-04-9650 that work with this e2 head unit.

For that much drop you'd need a shank with considerably more drop like the part # FA92-02-4315 which you'll be able to see in product pictures has quite a bit more drop to the shank. This is a Fastway shank which is a different brand from Husky but thankfully the WD manufacturers decided to make the heads of their systems interchangeable with other brand shanks by making them to same...

- Help With Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch Being 3-4" To Tall To Level Trailer ProperlyDavid, you simply need the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4315 to replace the Shank # FA92-02-4100 which came with your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch # FA94-00-0800. The shank included from Fastway maxes out at a 4" drop while the extended Shank # FA92-02-4315 allows for a drop of 6" to 9-3/4". This will allow you to level your trailer properly.
