Recommended Weight Distribution Shank for a 3" Hitch Receiver

Question

Question:

Currently have the Blue Ox SwayPro BXW2000 hitch setup for my RV. I tow with an F350 that has a 3inch receiver hitch. I have to use a 2.5-3.0 spacer, but there is too much play between the hitch and shank with the spacer. I noticed today that you sell the Bulletproof 3inch WD Shank BPH85RR. Do you know if the ball setup on the Blue Ox will fit on the Bulletproof shank? The specification image shows a lot of measurements, but doesnt show the width of the 9 hole vertical piece. Can you provide the measurement? Thanks for you help.

I sure do and yes they are! The holes are spaced 1-1/4" apart on center for both the BulletProof Hitches Weight Distribution Shank item # BPH85RR and the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System item # BXW2000 so they are indeed compatible.

For your Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar #RM-576 the replacement stinger part #910019-40 is the correct replacement. The nut is included so if you need a horizontal bolt too you'd also need the part #RM350191-00.
