Question:

We have a Eaz lift weight distribution system with a 2 inch shank. When we upgraded our truck, it has a 2 1/2 inch receiver so we have been using a reducer for the receiver but we still dont like the play it has. Can we just replace the shank with a 2 1/2 inch or do we also have to replace the weight distribution head so it fits a 2 1/2 inch shank

Expert Reply:

You can go from a 2 inch shank to a 2-1/2 inch shank with your Eaz-Lift weight distribution system. Weight distribution shanks are essentially universal so you won't have any issues. You just need a shank that has the proper rise or drop you are require.
