Head Unit, Shank, & Hitch Ball Replacements For Blue Ox Sway Pro

Question

Question:

Hello...Im trying to put together a new blue ox hitch. I have the bars and clamps, just need the head unit. I see that I will need part numbers BXW4000 and BXW4011 and a 2-5/16 ball with a 1-1/4 shank. But what about the bolts that connect the two parts together? Do they come with either of the hitch parts? If not, are they available to purchase?

The hardware is not available separately, but I can tell you what you need as far as hardware (which you can get at a local hardware store) to connect the Replacement Head for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems - Trunnion Bar # BXW4011 & Shank # BXW4000.

What you'll need are a pair each of Grade 5 zinc-plated 3/4”-10 x 4” hex head bolts, 3/4”-10 hex nuts, and 3/4" lock washers.

This will allow you to connect the head and shank together, and then for a hitch ball you can also use the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40030.

Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the #FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always…
