Recommended Shank for Using Husky Weight Distribution System with 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver

Question

Question:

I have a Husky Round Bar head #mh10m07 and a 2 inch Shank that I would like to like to convert from a F-150 2 inch receiver to a F-250 2 1/2 inch receiver I am thinking that Item # C17128 would work. Does that sound correct?

Most weight distribution shanks, such as the Equal-i-zer Shank for 2-1/2 Inch Hitches # EQ90-02-4900 referenced in your question, are interchangeable with weight distribution systems from different manufacturers. I was unable to locate any information regarding the specific Husky model you referenced in your question, but you can take a quick measurement on your existing head to ensure this will fit.

This Equal-i-zer shank features mounting holes that are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart on center. You will just want to make sure that this is compatible with the Husky head on your system. This is the standard dimension, so this will likely be a good fit.

I have also attached a short video review on this shank for you to check out.
