Question:
EQ37060ET The shank that comes with this setup is too small for our application. Can the shank be upgraded to a larger greater drop version? Or do you have to buy it in addition to this kit?

Expert Reply:
The adjustable shank that is included with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET can be replaced with one that features a larger drop like # EQ90-02-4400. This adjustable shank has a maximum drop of 9 inches from the top of the hitch receiver opening.
Since the included shank in this system is not sufficient for towing your trailer level, I recommend instead going with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37061ET. This system has the exact same 200-600 pound tongue weight capacity and specifications as the previously mentioned system, however the shank is not included. You can then simply purchase the larger drop # EQ90-02-4400 separately.
I have included the installation details and a short demonstration video on this product for you to check out.
