While the weight distribution shanks do tend to work with different manufacturers, I recommend staying with the same manufacturer to help protect any warranties. Also please make sure that the shank that you get is compatible with the same weight that your weight distribution hitch is rated for.
Curt # C17131
6" Rise - 2" Drop
1,500lb Max Tongue Weight
15,000lb Max Towing Weight
Equal-i-zer # EQ90-02-4700
7" Rise, 3" Drop
1,600lb Max Tongue Weight
16,000lb Max Towing Weight
If you can tell me what Weight Distribution System you have or are looking at I can give you my recommendation for that specific system. Also if you know how much drop or rise that you will require from your truck to your trailer.
