Question:
Does shank length come longer than 12 inches
asked by: Jim
Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank, part # BXW4003, that you mentioned is in fact the longest shank (at 12") offered by Blue Ox.
However, weight distribution shanks are basically the same among the different manufacturers, so you can use a longer one provided by another. If you only needed a little more, then I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank, part # C17122. It's 14" long, has a tongue weight of 1500 pounds, and gives a 7" drop or 10-1/2" rise for trunnion systems.
If you needed much more, then I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank, part # EQ90-02-4600. It's our longest (at 18") and gives 8" rise and a 4" drop. However, the tongue weight is 1400 pounds, so you'll lose that 100 pounds of capacity.
I've linked to video reviews of both of these shanks below.
