Question:
RE: Equalizer Model 90-00-1000 connecting Airstream Flying Cloud 25 to 2018 Toyota Tundra We are using the longer 18 shank to be able to open the tailgate. We would like to try a shorter shank. What other shank lengths are available? Do you have a part number? Thank you

Hey Tom and Kathy,
The original length shank that came on that Equalizer system was a 12", # EQ90-02-4100, shank. That is the shortest shank we have for the Equalizer systems rated for the same capacity as your system. That is my recommendation for going with a shorter shank for your unit.
How much shorter are you wanting to go with? If there is a specific length you need I can take a look and see if another brand makes a shorter one that is compatible.
