Question:

I have a Reese Dual Cam HP High Performance Sway Control W/D system that worked with my 2 inch hitch on a Toyota Tundra. I just traded for a 2019 Ford F-250 with a 2.5 inch hitch. Can I purchase a hitch-head to fit a 2.5 inch shank so I can continue to use the trunnion bars, cams, etc? My trunnion bars ride on the cam. Thanks!

We have shanks that fit your new hitch size that will fit the head of your Strait Line Dual Cam setup with the Curt part # C17131. So basically you'll be able to reuse everything you have now including the head and would only have to swap the shank. The # C17131 can provide up to 2 inches of drop so if you need more drop than that we have the Equal-i-zer part # EQ90-02-4900 which can provide up to 6 inches of drop.

Both the Curt and Equal-i-zer brands both fit the Reese systems since thankfully they made all of their system so the same shank dimensions.
