Question:

I have a newbie question. I currently have a Blue Ox SwayPro pulling a 23ft Airstream. I am upgrading to a Super Duty F250 with a 2.5in hitch. I know I’ll need a new shank for added height and do not want to use a sleeve. Do I have to use a Blue Ox shank or can I use a different brand? I occasionally pull an utility trailer as well so an all in one solution will be great. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

You can use other brand shanks with the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems like the part # BXW1503 that you mentioned. So you could use a Equal-i-zer part # EQ90-02-4900 which fits your hitch size directly and can provide a drop of 6 inches.
