Question:

I have a Reese 350 lb “Mini Weight Distribution Hitch” that I bought from ETrailer in 2012. Product 66024 for a 2x2inch receiver I am now changing tow vehicles and want to purchase a weight distribution shank with a larger adjustable. All of the shanks that I see on your site have a 1 ¼” hole pitch, while my hitch uses a ~1 7/16” hole pitch pattern. My corresponding hitch part to bolt to this shank is Reese 54947 this part would indicate actual hole pitch. Do you carry a shank that will work with this hitch. I am looking for a shank of ~9-11 thank you,

Expert Reply:

We used to carry the Reese Mini Weight Distribution System that you have and we know that it used a standard weight distribution shank like the Reese part # RP3344 that you referenced. Since you were looking for a drop of 9 to 11 inches of drop this would get you close but you'd need the part # EQ44FR instead which can do a drop of up to 12 inches.
