Hey Mike, the width of the vertical portion of the Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution shank part # BXW4003 that you referenced is 2 inches. This shank like nearly all WD shanks on the market is made to the industry standard for WD shanks so it can be used with nearly all other brands on the market.

@Mike Yes it is 2 inch square. Basically the whole shank uses 2 inch by 2 inch steel aside from the gusset obviously.
