Question:
Will the Gen-Y Weight Distribution Shank work with the BandW Continuum head?
asked by: Don
Expert Reply:
No, I am sorry Don. The Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitches item # GY92NR does not fit the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System item # BW78FR. The shank on the Continuum is quite a bit wider than the standard size on a weight distribution shank.
If you are needing a 2-1/2" shank for a B&W Continuum System like item # BW78FR, we have the B&W Continuum WD Head Assembly w/ Extended Drop - 2-1/2" Shank - 2-5/16" Ball - 16K item # BW34BR.
The B&W Continuum WD Head Assembly item # BW34BR fits a 2-1/2" shank and offers an additional 4" of drop. It comes with a pre-mounted 2-5/16" hitch ball and has a 16,000 lbs capacity.
