Fast turnaround, thank you.

Fast delivery. Excellent dervice and pr oducts.

Everything was excellent I pressed the wrong button.You rock etrailer!!!



by:

etrailer was excellent with their customer service, as always. With this order I had bought a Blue OX kit with a shank that was almost 15" long. Although my truck is lifted, it still scraped in the mountains and on my sidewalk. After calling etrailer I explained that I wanted to trade out the shank. Karen tried and tried but ultimately found that I was unable to do that as the Blue Ox kit I bought is a true kit and that the shank is not exchangeable. So, I had to buy a shorter (9" x 9 hole shank) shank, Karen was very receptive of my incurred costs. She spoke to her manager and got me a slight discount to help with the unintended purchase. Plus, the new shank was here in two days. All in all, etrailer is one of the best I have dealt with. To date I have bought a roof rack, trailer hitch rack, Swagman bike hitch rack, Weigh Safe hitch, and a Weight Distribution/Sway Control hitch from them. I will keep coming back because they are that helpful and their prices are awesome!

Great product, fits perfectly!



by:

blue ox made a great product, I had to purchase a longer shank to level out my tow trailer, also had to CRANK up the tension on the chains and springs though the first ride out was scary

Arrived when stated, packaging was perfect, item was high quality, actual blue ox product. Fit just like my previous one.

Great. No check ncerns or complaints.



by:

Exactually what you would expect of a Blue Ox product: sturdy, super heavy, and exceptional craftsmanship. ETrailer is recommended by fellow RVers for their product selection & quality service. They delivered for me: quick shipping and secure packaging.



by:

As a lot of people experience with Blue OX is the ball mount is too short for propper fit and operation this fixes the issue.



by:

I traded trucks, the new Power Wagon with air bags set a little too high using my original. This one was perfect using the bottom holes.

Shipping was quick, overall very happy.



by:

Wrong product was shipped in the right box (from manufacturer). Etrailers was great in correcting the problem and I had the right product in 3 days. Very prompt and good pricing and service.



by:

Fast and dependable service and very kn owledgeable



by:

E/trailer is wonderful to work with, the reason I did not give 5 stars is I have not got to pull my trailer with it yet. I have measured and it seems to be just where I want the height of ball.



by:

Heavy but perfect for my Blue Ox hitch and my 2500 Ram.



by:

product is as advertised, recieved in 2 days, good job Etrailer



by:

I needed the extra drop of the 9-hole BXW4002. Perfect!! Problem solved.

  • Recommended Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System For 30 Foot Trailer
    The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW, # BXW1500, may be a good fit for the weights and dimensions you gave. The maximum gross towing weight is 15,000 lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 1500 lbs. You will also need a hitch ball that is either 2 inches like # 63840 or 2-5/16 inches like # C40008. This system will give you up to a 13 inch rise or a 7 inch drop which will accommodate your 2 inch need from shank to top of hitch...

  • Recommended Way To Extend Weight Distribution Hitch So That Tailgate Clears Trailer Tongue Jack
    I recommend swapping out the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank # BXW4002 for a Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600. The Equal-i-zer shank is 5" longer giving you enough to clear your tailgate. With using with a weight distribution hitch the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-513 would create another point where there is going to be play in the receiver tube. While this will extend your hitch out it is not the route I would recommend going.

  • 9 Hole Adjustable Shank for 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4
    The factory hitch receiver for the 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 is pretty high off the ground especially for a smaller truck. I recommend the longer 9 hole Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank item # BXW4002 over the 7 hole one. I have attached a diagram with all of the dimensions of this shank so you can measure and confirm. This shank is compatible with the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution System item # BLU47FR you referenced.

  • Recommended Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for 1,100 lb Tongue Weight
    Though we only carry the # BXW1500 and not the 1500S model, from what I could find the only difference was that that the 1500S came with a longer shank, which is simply # BXW4002. Using this shank rather than the standard shank that comes with the # BXW1500 will give you a vertical adjustment of 11-1/4" instead of 8-3/4". The Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW1500 has a tongue weight capacity between 1,000 lbs - 1,500 lbs and if your total tongue weight was 1,100 lbs it would work well for you. Total...

  • Heavy Duty Tow Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Ford F-350
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15810 which is a fit for your 2008 Ford F-350 will allow you to tow your 2000 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite 30SKS without the use of a weight distribution system assuming the figures you provided on the trailer are correct. This hitch has a 20,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 2,700 lb tongue weight (TW) rating with a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening. According to the instructions for this hitch, the professional installation time is 30 minutes...

  • Replacement Weight Distribution Shank for Use with Blue Ox Sway Pro
    You can use a weight distribution shank from another manufacturer with your Blue Ox Sway Pro system if necessary to provide the correct coupling height and sufficient ground clearance. Based on your measurements it appears you actually need about 6-inches of drop in the shank. (We do our measurements a bit differently). Reese shank # RP3215 provides up to 5-3/4-inches of drop with trunnion bars. Dimensions of this item are shown in the linked photo.

  • Recommended Longer Shank for a Blue Ox SwayPro
    The Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW1500 actually has a reducer sleeve for the ball so you can us one with a 1 inch diameter shank or 1 1/4 inch shank. That being said, the ball size will depend on the trailer that you are towing. If the coupler on the trailer is for a 2 5/16 ball, I suggest going with the Draw-Tite # 63840. This is rated up to 20,000 pounds and has a chrome plating. If the coupler is for a 2 inch ball, the Curt # A-90 will also have a chome plating, but will be rated up to 10,000...

  • Can you Use the Brophy Hitch Extender to Tow a Travel Trailer
    It looks like the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender, part # HR26, could work for your application based on the numbers. However, this isn't something I recommend for you since the addition of an extender not only reduces your towing capacity, it also adds more sway than you want with a 30-ft. trailer. Instead, it would be better to increase the length of your weight distribution's shank (or the length of your ball coupler if your WD hitch attaches with a coupler). A good one is the Blue...

  • Comparing the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System BXW1500 and BXW1500-S
    The only difference between the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1500 and the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part BXW1500-S (which we don't carry) is the shank that is included with either system. The standard system (BXW1500) comes with the Weight Distribution Shank part # BXW4000 which offers up to 2" of drop whereas the extended system (BXW1500-S) comes with the Weight Distribution Shank part # BXW4002 which offers up to 4-1/2" of drop.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Shank For A 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
    When it comes to switching out your Reese distribution shank to a bigger one I would recommend going to The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2 inch Hitch - 9 inch Long - 9 Hole Adjustment # BXW4028. It is very similar to The Blue Ox Shank # BXW4002 but with it being a 2-1/2 inch hitch for safety reasons I would stick with the 2-1/2 inch shank. Using the 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch sleeve will give the system an extra breaking point which could effect the ride. The # BXW4028...

  • Best Weight Distribution System For 2009 Casita Spirit Travel Trailer Towed By Lifted Toyota 4Runner
    A weight distribution system would help out tremendously with leveling the load and preventing sway when using your Toyota 4runner to pull your 2009 Casita Spirit Travel Trailer, resulting in a much safer and stable towing experience. The Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66087 that you mentioned would possibly work, but it is rated for 10,000lbs and has a tongue weight range of 400-800lbs. Your travel trailer will likely have a tongue weight of 300-450lbs, making...

  • Advantage of Blue Ox Weight Distribution Shank with Longer Shank
    The longer 12 inch shank on the Blu Ox # BXW4003 is just going to push the trailer a few inches further back from the rear of your truck. Adding clearance between the truck and trailer connection can be beneficial to allow space for an accessory you might have mounted in between or to be able to lower the tailgate on the truck with the trailer still connected (if this provides enough space to do on your particular setup). Other than that there's no advantage in terms of strength or performance...

  • Shank for Use with Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution BXW0550 for 4 inch Drop
    The max drop that the Blue Ox Weight distribution system you are considering part # BXW0550 can do is 2 inches so you need a shank that can provide 2 more inches of drop than that. So for that the correct shank is part # BXW4002 and you'd be set.

  • Do I Need a Longer Shank for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution If I Raise My Trailer
    The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # BXW1500 has a max rise of 8" and max drop of 2". If the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube opening is not within the range above when compared to the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler while level then you will need a new shank. The lift kits we offer all provide more than 1-1/4" so it would indeed appear you need a shank with more rise/drop. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight...

  • Longer Weight Distribution Shanks
    Yes, we do have a compatible shank for the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU75FR. These shanks have the standard 1-1/4" hole spacing so they are compatible with many weight distribution systems. For a 7 hole option you will want the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches item # BXW4000. This shank has a total height of 10" and a total vertical adjustment of 8-3/4".

  • Blue Ox Sway Pro for Airstream Flying Cloud 28 and Ford F250 with Tongue Weight of 1,300 lbs
    For your tongue weight range the correct Blue Ox Sway Pro would be the # BXW1500 but you would need a drop ball mount shank to allow you the drop you need. For that you would need the part # BXW4002.

    The holes on the shank are indeed 3/4 inches in diameter and spaced 1-1/4 inches apart on the Blue Ox shank: - Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches # BXW4002 This means it is absolutely compatible with your Curt weight distribution set up, and will give you a maximum rise of 10-1/2 inches or a maximum drop of 14-1/2 inches.

  • Troubleshooting Severe Suspension Sag With Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System Installed
    I would be happy to help. It sounds like your Blue Ox SwapPro Weight Distribution System # BXW1000 may not be set up correctly causing it not to distribute weight properly. First things first with your Ford Expedition and trailer parked on level ground you will want to disconnect the trailer from the vehicle and level it using the trailer jack.

    Yes, the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution # BLU75FR can use the # BXW4002. This will give you a greater rise of 10-1/2" and drop of 4-1/2" for your setup.

  • Is 2" Difference in Trailer Coupler Height Okay for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution
    Thanks for reaching out! The biggest difference between hitch receiver height and trailer coupler height is 1", so for your application I do recommend using the 9-hole shank # BXW4002 so you can get to that level setup. Keeping the trailer level is the best way to get the best tracking and towing performance from your trailer which is why I recommend going this route instead of being a little nose-high for your trailer tongue. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • What is the Maximum Drop on the Blue Ox 7 Hole Shank
    I spoke to Blue Ox and the TrackPro Weight Distribution System # BLU27FR offers a maximum 2 inches of drop or 8 inches of rise if needed. That is going from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. This is standard for their 7 hole shanks that come with this part. If more drop is needed, however, we do have a couple other options available for the shanks. The Blue Ox Shank # BXW4002 will give you 4 1/2 inches of drop and 10 1/2 inches of rise. The Blue Ox Shank # BLU86FR will...
