Expert Reply:
Using a longer shank like the # EQ90-02-4600 will not reduce the capacity of your hitch. It is typically only when you use an adapter or extender like # C45791. Adding in the extra piece is what causes the reduction because of the way force is applied. A longer weight distribution hitch shank, just like an extended ball mount, won't impact the capacity.
