Hey John, I am not totally sure what you are asking about but the Bullet Proof Hitches Weight Distribution Shank part # BPH85RR has the standard weight distribution shank adjustment holes that allow it to basically be used with any brand of WD system and in the hitch pin holes that secure it to the hitch it comes with a hitch pin and clip that can be used in either of it's hitch pin holes.

If I am not understanding your question let me know and I'll help further.

I have a ram 2500 with a blue ox wd hitch. My dropdown shank is still way too high. I’m looking to drop ball hight more.

@John Ohhhh I gotcha. So the word drop gets cut off on questions so I didn't see it but that makes perfect sense. This ball mount has a max drop of 4 inches.

@JamesonC the shank I currently have hangs around 5 inch lower then the reciver hight but when my WD ball is mounted the ball is even with the receiver. I need my ball much lower as my 2500 is pretty high. My current shank has 6 holes so my thinking this has to be lower

@John Yes this shank has 9 holes and they are separated by 1-1/4 inch on center so that would give you 3-3/4 inches more drop than you have now assuming the current shank has the holes located same relative to the shank height. If I could add a picture to this comment I would to show you all of the dimensions of this shank but from the top of the shank down to the lowest hole center measures 9-3/4 inches so that might be a better way for you to compare the drops.

Answer 1

Hey Rob! Weight distribution systems are based off of tongue weight which is 10%-15% of your trailer's total weight so that would put a regular trailer between 12,900 lbs and 1,900 lbs. Since yours is a toy hauler you're not going to get…

Hey Peter! Yes, Fastway and Equal-i-zer shanks are interchangeable. In fact, most brands (not all) follow the standard for WDH shanks so many can be used for a variety of systems. It looks like you have a 2024 F-250. Did you get a new truck and need…

Absolutely. For your 3 inch receiver, I recommend the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter Item #337RTA302. This will allow you to use your Tow Bar without issue.

Answer 5

I do have a solution for you, however, there currently is not a 3" shank available for a weight distribution system. You will need to use a reducer sleeve such as Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves #C45408, which will reduce a 3" receiver…

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.

Hey Pamela, thanks for the picture and congrats on your new trailer. The Curt True Course item #C94VV has inertia sensors in it. You'll want to bolt it to the side of your coupler beneath that metal storage box for it to function correctly. Being…

Answer 10

The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank #EQ90-02-4900 would work well with your Husky WD System part #HT32218 and would fit your 2-1/2 inch hitch without the use of an adapter. For shanks that fit 2-1/2 inch hitches the #EQ90-02-4900 can do the most drop…
