How To Tow With the Tailgate Down Using Equal-i-zer System
Question:
We have a 2017 Dodge 3500 diesel w/short bed, we are towing our 2017 Crossroads Zinger 37BH and have a 4point equalizer hitch system. However we need to carry our golf cart in the bed of the truck with tailgate down and need a hitch extender to do so. What do you recommed?

The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4600 should allow you to tow with the tailgate down on your 2017 Ram 3500. I have attached a photo for you of this shank used with a similar system on a similar truck

i have a 2019 2500 dodge and tow a 2019 keystone 2950 gt bh. i recently smashed my tailgate in to my tongue jack backing into a camping spot with golf cart in bed and tail gate down. How would i know if the 18 inch shank would give me the clearance when backing into a campsite?
