Question:

I am currently using this WDH. The shank item# FA92-02-4100 is the same shank that I currently have, as is the head item# FA92-02-1255. My question is this: Is there another skank brand that is the same as what I have/or would work with my WDH that has a 2 1/2inch shank? My truck receiver has the 2 1/2inch receiver. I really dont care for the reducer sleeves. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Yes, because all of the weight distribution companies make their heads to fit the same shank dimensions you can use a different brand shank with your system. For that we have the Eqaul-i-zer shank part # EQ90-02-4900 which fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch size you have, provides up to a 6 inch drop, and works with your Fastway kit. Oddly enough this shank is made by same company as who makes Fastway since Equal-i-zer makes both brands.

I attached a review video for this for you to check out too.
