Shank offers up to a 12" drop and a 15" rise for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Measures 12" long and fits 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitches.

by:

This is not a 12" drop shank, it's 14.5". E-trailer is charging me to ship it back even though it's not what I ordered from them. I will never order anything from this supplier again. Be ware, their lack of accountability is enough to steer clear. Customer service was awful as well.



by:

This was the right size drop shank to level out the Airstream trailer using existing Fastway e2 Hitch (trunnion) hardware behind a 2013 Ram 2500 with 6" lift and 37" tires.



by:

Perfect. Delivered very fast.
Sorry
no pic at this time. Moving hitch ball and set up.

Thank you.



by:

I have a brand new 2022 tradesmen 2500 all stock no upgrades. The other truck was a 2016 ram 3500 Laramie dually. I took my equalizer hitch set up from the 2016 to the 2022 it became way to high so I had to get another shank so I could get it lower. Now it's a couple inches two low with no more adjustment. And with a 2 1/2 insert their is a lot of slop play. No I would not recommend this shank for the slop movement. A waste of 200.00



by:

Great job getting this shipped out. Package came well packed and left your facility quickly. Had a hard time finding this in stock locally so turned to the internet. Love all the video reviews you guys do on products. Keep it up. Was able to find the info I needed for this product on your website (more info here than on the manufacturers site). Thanks again



by:

Fast shipping! Great follow up!



by:

Have a 2500 4x4 Ram with a 6 inch lift on 37 inch tires and this drop shank brought me down low enough to pull my camper.



by:

The product is exactly what I ordered and needed! It was easy to find on the website, easy to order, and it was delivered very quickly. I would definitely use etrailer.com, again!

  • Shank With 12 Inches of Drop for 14,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
    We do have a shank with 12 inches of drop that will work with the 14,000 lb towing/1,400 lb tongue weight capacity Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution with 4-Point Sway Control - No Shank # EQ37141ET. There are options for both a 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch hitch, so you can choose the right one based on your hitch size, and both shanks have the capacity needed to work with this Equal-i-zer system as well as the maximum 12 inch drop you need. - 2 Inch Hitch: Equalizer Weight Distribution Shank...

  • Are Equal-i-zer WDH Heads Interchangeable With Differnet Capacity Springs
    Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches use different heads for each capacity so you would need to completely swap out the entire system in order to meet the GVWR of your trailer. If the system you have is all original then the head and spring bars would also be rated for 10,000lbs like the shank is. If you bought it used or swapped anything out then you would need to find the item number sticker on each part to determine what they are and their capacity. To determine the best replacement...

  • Replacement 2-1/2 Inch Shank for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
    You do not need to replace your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800. As you suspected, a new shank is all it will take to get you going again. Fastway doesn't have one for a 2-1/2" receiver, but Equal-i-zer who makes Fastway does. We have the following options available: -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 8" Rise, 4" Drop # EQ90-02-4800 -Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch...

  • Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch With Drop For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
    We have a weight distribution shank with quite a bit of drop that will work your Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch, but the part number you mentioned will not because it is a standard ball mount and doesn't have the correct hole spacing. But we do have an option from Equal-i-zer (who manufactures Fastway) that fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch and offers up to 12 inches of drop: - Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 12" Drop # EQ34FR This shank has the most drop available...

  • Recommended 2-1/2 Shank For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch With Around 10 Of Drop
    You sure can! Weight distribution shanks are not brand specific, you will just need to make sure you use a shank that is the same style as there is two different styles. Based on your picture you will need the # EQ34FR that fits the 2-1/2" receiver on your new Ram 3500 and has 12" drop. The next closest drop available is the # C17132 which has 9-1/4" of drop. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Do Curt Weight Distribution Systems Come With Shank to Fit 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    Curt has weight distribution shanks you can use with the # C17501 that fit the 2-1/2 inch hitch size like the part # C17131 which can do up to a 2 inch drop or part # C17132 which can provide up to 8 inches of drop but we do not offer the Curt kits with the 2-1/2 inch shanks. The most similar system that does come with a 2-1/2 inch hitch size shank is the part # EQ34FR which I would highly recommend. It has a tongue weight range of 1,200-1,600 lb, comes with a hitch ball and is widely...

  • Best Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch for 1,150 lb Tongue Weight and 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    We can definitely get you set up correctly, and let's start with the Equal-i-zer itself, and this is absolutely the best overall choice for a weight distribution hitch for a number of different reasons. First is its sway control system, which is exceptional relative to other systems because it uses 4 points of sway control via friction in the spring bars and head unit (compared to 2 points on other systems), which ensures you never have to worry about your trailer swaying. It also uses...

  • Can Equal-i-Zer System for 2 inch Hitch be Adapted to 2-1/2 inch Hitch with Shank Swap
    You will only need to replace the shank of your Equal-i-Zer system with one that fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch size and also provides you with the correct amount of drop to tow your trailer level. Thankfully the heads of weight distribution systems are all the same size and can be used with any hitch size as long as you match them to the correct shank. The shank part # EQ94FR is most likely the correct shank you'd need as it offers up to 9 inches of drop and does fit the 2-1/2 inch hitch size. Other...

    It sounds like you're looking for a weight distribution shank like the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900, which has a 2-1/2" shank and a 6" drop. The length of the drop part of the shank is 11-1/2" long, so it's quite close to what yours is.
