Question:
I have this shank, FA92-02-4100, on my Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch but the ball is too close to allow for opening the rear doors on my 2016 Ford Transit Wagon. I only need about an inch more clearance. What are my options?

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Curt weight Distribution Shank, part # C17122.
This shank measures 18 inches overall and 14-inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the attachment holes for the head. This shank has a 15,000-lb weight capacity and this shank has an overall height of 10-inches. I have attached a photo of this shank with the dimensions shown you can check out.
Another shank you may want to check out is the Curt # 17120. This shank has a 15,000-lb weight capacity and measures 10-inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes.

HI, would a Reese 3214 weight distributing shank work for this same situation (need a longer shank for clearance)?
