Weight Distribution Hitch Shank For Equal-i-zer With 12" Between Hitch Pin Hole and Mounting Holes
Question:
Im looking for a new shank for my Equilizer hitch. 2022 F150 w/ 2023 Keystone Cougar 27BHS. I currently have both the 12 and 18 Equalizer shanks. With the 18 shank 14" pin hole to bolt holes I am able to open my tailgate with the electric jack head facing forward normal position. Im hoping to spin the jack head 90 degrees and find a shank inbetween to eliminate unneccesary shank extension, but still allow me to open my tailgate. I need a shank that is approximately 11-12 between the pin hole and the shank bolt holes. Do you have another brand shank that would fit this use? The standard equalizer /rise is fine for our use.

The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank # BXW4001 spreads the hitch pin hole to the vertical mounting holes 12" on center. This uses the same hole separation of 1-1/4" on center.
