Question:

I plan to purchase the TorkLift Superhitch Magnum and would like to use their TorkLift shank not the Everest, but the standard size. TorkLift says that shank is compatible with other WD heads. Can you verify that a Reese or Equalizer WD head will fit? Are all of these WD heads standard in size where they mate the shank? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The Reese weight distribution system shanks have 3/4 inch holes built into them that are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart. The Torklift weight distribution shanks like the part # TLM9001 also match these dimensions so a Reese head would fit the shank.

So if you went with the Torklift Superhitch Magnum part # TLF1002-30 for your 2016 Ford F-250 and then a shank like the part # TLM9001 you could then use a Reese weight distribution system.
