Recommended Replacement Shank for Blue Ox Sway Control With Larger Rise or Drop
Question:
That is not quite what I am looking for. Your solution would require that I unbolt the Blue Ox head from my existing shank, and remount onto the new shank. And then back to the old one to tow with the original vehicle. What I would like is a separate shank and head setup up so I can just slide and go with either vehicle.

To use the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW1000 with a vehicle that has a different height, you don't need to replace the entire system, you just may need a longer shank for increased rise or drop. I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 12" Long - 9 Hole Adjustment # BXW4003.
