Recommended Weight Distribution System With A 4-6 Drop Trailer Around 5,000 lb. GTW 700 lb. Tongue
Question:
Hello, Id like to buy a WD hitch but I need more of a drop than the shanks provided with some of the hitches. Is there a hitch you can recommend for a specific WD unit? i need a 4-6" drop Thanks!

I really like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control - No Shank - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW part # EQ37101ET. It's operating range is between 600 and 1000 lbs. of tongue weight which will put you right in the sweet spot of the system. It comes without the shank so you can use the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank 7" part # C17123 to achieve the drop you need. This will allow for up to 8-1/4" drop. This system offers excellent sway control as well at 4 points in the head which is why I really love it.
If you are not concerned as much with sway the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round Without Shank part # FA94-00-1033 offers two points of control and can be used with the same shank above and offers the same 600-1000 pound tongue weight range.
I've linked the products and the videos we have done here on them for you to check out.
