Question:
I currently have a 10k Equalizer hitch about 10 years old. My new travel trailer is not supposed to use any WD bars over 750 lbs. I would like to stay with Equalizer. Can I use my current shank, and would everything else be included in your kit #EQ37061ET
asked by: Michelle D
Expert Reply:
Yes, you will be able to use your current weight distribution shank on the Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution System, # EQ37061ET.
All the other needed parts will be included with the new weight distribution system. For installing the trailer ball to the weight distribution head, I recommend using a thin walled socket like # EQ70-00-4800. This socket is designed to work with Equal-I-Zer hitches
