This is a solid, well made, and heavy-duty hitch shank I'm using with my e2 weight distribution hitch. I needed a longer drop after getting a new truck. This thing will last forever. It was delivered within two days. Excellent service, excellent product.



by:

Ordered and received the shank I needed. Got my weight distribution head mounted. Made a the adjustments needed for a level ride. Very happy with the timeliness of my order. Just wish it wasn't so heavy (I know it needs to be). It's solid steel.



by:

2019 F250 setting up E2 trunnion hitch to pull an Airstream Globetrotter 25FB. This trailer is lower to ground than most and needs about 19-20 inches to the top of the ball when towing for the trailer to be level. This nine inch drop worked out perfect and still allows the set up to be adjusted one setting lower. Cant go wrong this ordering from etrailer.

One years later and this product is still working great.

Needed up upgrade the shank on our E4 to match the newer 3/4 ton pickup. Part arrived promptly and has worked flawlessly the entire time. Pulling an Imagine 2600RB, moving from a 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton truck was one of the best upgrades we have made.

Things worked great pulling 7100lbs from SD to WA and OR. Fit as expected

Just what I needed to get the correct height to hook up my Rv weight distribution hitch on my lifted 2022 F-250. Easy to install . Adjustable height range



by:

Needed a shank that was 4 inches longer due to a truck upgrade. Coupled perfect with my existing equalizer system.

Will work perfect. Great help from Andy. Listened to what I was looking for made recommendation and quickly shipped it. Awesome.

Sweet! We'd love to see a photo of your truck with the new shank if you feel like sending one in :)

Was the correct size



by:

Equal-i-zer makes a quality product including this shank. Etrailer went out of their way to get the exact model I needed (which was not a stock item for them) and provided excellent customer service by keeping me informed of the status of my order. I greatly appreciate the efforts of the entire team.



by:

Worked perfectly for my truck. Is solid and I have no doubts about the strength of it. I have a 2016 Silverado 2500HD with a 7” lift and 37” tires. I could have gotten away with an 8” drop as I do have some extra holes at the bottom. If I had airbags that might be different. My trailer is also much taller than most other travel trailers.



by:

The shank is Extremely heavy duty but the paint just peels away very easily. It will rust very quickly.

Thank you for the review! I wanted to share a link that talks about different ways to prevent rust, and one way is to use a rust inhibiting spray paint to touch any bare spots.



by:

Got a new truck which had a 3" lift so needed a bigger drop. Ordered the 12" drop by accident and called to get it retured and get this one. Teresa was awesome and got me squared away.

Quality is great and was just wat I needed! Got the trailer leveled up and ready for spring.



by:

Tremendous piece of Steel! It provided JUST the right amount of Drop to enable proper towing of our Airstream with the 2500 Cummins Ram.
Thanks to everyone at etrailer YET AGAIN for making another project a success.



by:

Etrailer provided excellent customer service. I had ordered a piece of equipment which was on back order and they responded quickly by notifying, helping me find a different part that arrived in 3 days.



by:

etrailer has always provided me with honest, professional, high quality service, and I will be happy to do business with them in the future.



by:

Good alternative for bigger trucks. Still has plenty of ground clearance.

Exactly what I order with supper fast shipping.
Thanks

  • Can You Convert to 2-1/2 Inch Shank From 2 Inch With Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hi Joe, Yep, you heard correct, you can go from a 2 inch shank to a 2-1/2 inch shank with your Reese weight distribution hitch without issue. One of the following 2-1/2 inch shanks should have the right rise/drop for your application. Here are the max rise/drops: - Max 7" Rise, 3" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4700 - Max 10" Rise, 6" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4900 - Max 13" Rise, 9" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight...

  • 2 1/2" Shank For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hello Loni. No, the Weight Distribution Shank for Gen-Y Hitch Adjustable Ball Mounts w/ 2-1/2" Receivers - 21K # GY98ER is not compatible because it has a 3/4" pin hole diameter, and the Fastway e2 requires a standard 5/8" pin hole diameter. For your 2021 Ford F350 with 2 1/2" receiver I recommend Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 13" Rise, 9" Drop # EQ94FR, or Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900 depending on what drop/rise you...

  • Is There an Adjustable Drop Hitch Which Can Be Used With Weight Distribution Hitch & 6500LB Trailer?
    First Vohn, if you can tell me what weight distribution hitch you are using and how much drop you might need I can recommend a Drop Shank # EQ94FR to replace your current shank. The Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH67SR is one of the few options we have which will let you use a weight distribution hitch or even a ball mount.

  • Replacement Shank for Equal-i-zer WDH for 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 With Lift Kit
    Hey Kathy! Do you have a 2-1/2" hitch on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500? Assuming you do, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 13" Rise, 9" Drop # EQ94FR. If you have a 2" hitch then you need the Equal-i-zer Wt Distribution Shank - 12" - 13" Rise, 9" Drop # EQ90-02-4400. Both will allow you to drop the head down further so you can keep your setup level after adding the lift kit. Any big trips coming up with your Airstream?

  • 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...

  • Can Reese Weight Distribution Hitch Use Curt 2-1/2" Shank
    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. If you're looking for a different rise/drop the Equal-i-zer you looked at will also work. You can choose from the following: - Max 7" Rise, 3" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4700 - Max 10" Rise, 6" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch # EQ90-02-4900 - Max 13"...

  • Is The Equal-i-zer Shank 90-02-4425 The Same As The EQ94FR?
    Hi Pete! The Equal-i-zer 90-02-4425 is indeed the same as our part # EQ94FR. Typically we change a part number like this when the original part number closely matches another part number from a different manufacturer that we carry, which I think is the case here, but I could be wrong. Sometimes we do it to keep our computery overlords happy. : P This is quite the drop. What vehicle will you be using it with?

  • Replacement 2-1/2 Inch Shank for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
    You do not need to replace your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800. As you suspected, a new shank is all it will take to get you going again. Fastway doesn't have one for a 2-1/2" receiver, but Equal-i-zer who makes Fastway does. We have the following options available: -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 8" Rise, 4" Drop # EQ90-02-4800 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch...

  • Longest Weight Distribution Shank for a 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver

From hitch pin hole to the end of the shank is 12". It has a maximum tongue weight of 1,600 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 16,000 lbs.

  • Shank Recommendation for Fastway Weight Distribution for 2019 Ram 2500 with 2.5 inch Hitch
    Since your truck has a lift, and without a lift it sits up pretty high I would recommend a shank that fits the 2.5 inch hitch size with a bit more drop in the shank like the # EQ90-02-4900 which can do a drop of up to 6 inches or the part # EQ94FR which has a 9 inch drop.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For 36' 2022 Palomino Puma Pulled By Lifted Ram 2500
    I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37121ET for towing your 2022 Palomino Puma travel trailer with your 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. This hitch is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs and total trailer weight up to 12,000lbs. To determine the correct drop shank you will need to measure the height of your receiver and compare that with the height of the coupler on the Puma.

    The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank part # EQ94FR is what I recommend using for a 2-1/2" hitch where extra drop is needed. It offers up to 9" drop which should be plenty for most truck and trailers combos. It's cross-compatible so it will work with pretty much any system.

  • Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
    It sounds like the shank you have just doesn't give you enough drop; and whether or not you need a weight distribution hitch is honestly up to you. It should help level your trailer (if you have the appropriate drop), but it may not be a system with sway control, if that's what you were referencing by it not doing enough. One is recommended for staying level, and shanks are essentially universal so you can simply replace the shank with one that has the correct drop. You mentioned 8-9 inches,...

  • How To Use Equal-i-zer 1400/14000lb Weight Distribution Hitch In 2021 Ford F-350 W/ 3" Receiver
    I have another option for you, but due to the tongue weight of your trailer being right at the max 1200lb rating of the Buyers Products # 337RTA302, and your 2021 Ford F-350's 3" trailer hitch receiver having a hitch pin hole of 5/8" meaning it will not work correctly with the # C45408 I do not recommend either of these option.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Sway Control for 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX
    According to my research, the tongue weight of your new Jayco Jay Flight will be somewhere between 1000-1350 lbs, so you'll want to be sure to get a system that can handle that tongue weight. Also, because travel trailers are especially vulnerable to sway caused by oncoming or passing traffic, it's pretty crucial that you use a weight distribution system that has an integrated sway control component. I'd recommend going with an Equal-i-zer system like # EQ37141ET which is compatible with...
