Can the Curt # C17121 Shank be Used with a Blue Ox Weight Distribution System
Updated 05/21/2018 | Published 05/19/2018 >
Question:
I recently went from a 2013 Ram 1500 to a 2018 Ram 2500 and now my Blue Ox Sway pro WD hitch is not sitting correctly trailer leans to the rear-hitch on lowest setting of shank is too high. My question is if I can use the Curt C17121 in conjunction with my existing Blue Ox WD hitch setup. The shank is substantially cheaper and looks like it would do the same job as the Blue Ox model. Appreciate your help.

Expert Reply:
Yes you can! All of our WD shanks, including the Curt # C17121 that you referenced, are compatible with other WD systems. The part where the head of your WD sits is 2" wide and the mounting holes are 1-1/4" apart on center.
I have attached a review video for you to reference as well.
