Longest Weight Distribution Shank for a Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 F250 and need a longer shank to gain greater separation btw truck and trailer to be able to open tailgate when hitched up and more than my current shank to get trailer leveled. Is this shank compatible the hole measurements and size are the same, but is there anything Im missing.

Yes, the Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # 17120 will work with your Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System. Almost all of the weight distribution system shanks we carry are universal. It will provide you with 10" from the center of the pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes and up to a 5-3/4" drop for trunnion bar systems.

If you instead need something even longer, we have the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank part # EQ90-02-4600 which measures about 14-1/2" from the center of the pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes and up to a 4" drop for trunnion bar systems.

It sure does Jerry and welcome back! To get a 7" drop you'll need to purchase a 2" shank and weight distribution system separately. The ones that come with the systems aren't going to be that long for drop. For a weight distribution…

This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…
