Weight Distribution Shank with More Drop to Fit a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
Ive got a Reese system and need more drop. Will any brand work with my Reese head? And can I get a 2.5inch shank even though my last was a 2.

I've linked our selection of weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch hitch receivers.
Most shanks are universal and will work with other brands of systems. As long as the holes are 3/4 inch in diameter and are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart they're interchangeable. Whether it's a shank for a 2 inch hitch or a 2-1/2 inch hitch the holes are normally the same.
I've also attached an article to help you determine how much drop you need in case you don't already know.
