Question:

Is there a 2 inch ball option to attach to the BandW Continuum Shank? I would love to just change heads when moving from Boat to Camper while using the same Shank.

Hey Joe! There is a 2" ball available for the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR and # BW28FR. However, it is not something that B&W makes available for online retailers. If you give B&W a call at (800) 810-4918 you will be able to order it directly through them. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.

Hey Joe, were you able to get the 2-inch ball for your B&W Continuum shank after reaching out to B&W? Knowing what worked could help someone else looking for the same setup.

@RobinH It would have been a complete Shank and Head set up for with the 2 inch ball, not a new head for the shank I already have. My goal was to install an anti rattle on my shank and replace the head for towing my boat, or other. I wanted a new head for the Continuum shank similar to the "Stow and Go" instead I still have to remove the Continuum shank and replace with a different hitch all together (Still B&W) to tow different things. -Joe

@JoeC they could still get you the complete replacement head assembly and shank with a 2" ball. If you contact them I can't imagine they wouldn't be able to get you the parts you want. They only have the 2-5/16" available in any form of the replacement parts. Or you could get one of the following and get the 2" ball from them and swap it out. -B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Head Assembly - 2" Shank - 2-5/16" Ball - 16K # BW48FR -B&W Continuum WD Head Assembly w/ Extended Drop - 2" Shank - 2-5/16" Ball - 16K # BW54BR -B&W Continuum WD Head Assembly - 2" Extended Shank - 2-5/16" Ball - 16K # BW82JR

@RobinH Yes, that is correct and they do offer a new Continuum Head with a 2 inch ball. That doesn't meet the need I'm trying to fill. I don't need the whole head assembly that includes the anti sway as well as the bracket that the load disto bars connect into. I just want a head like the Stow and Go, nothing extra, that I could swap out the Continuum head for. I just went ahead and bought a stow and go, so I still have the 2 5/16in ball for trailers that aren't my camper, and a 2 inch ball for the boat. If they made another head for the continuum that matched the Stow and Go multi ball capability, they would make money. Obviously I understand a similar head to the Stow and Go would not Stow with the Continuum shank.
