The items are great. A sturdier box or packaging would definitely help in not loading any items. My two items were inside but does look like the receiver shank came out through opening on side of box



by:

Product is fine. Your packing need A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT!!!
box was busted to hell and back with a 30lbs piece of metal just clanked around in an oversized box with 2 small sheets of packing paper.



by:

No issues at all. Has been a great drop bar for my weight distribution hitch!



by:

After a year of camping, the shank is doing its job!



by:

The quality of the part is good and it works as intended. E-trailer's shipping was very quick. We received the part in 3 days with standard shipping. I was very impressed with the quality of the packaging. This heavy item was secured tightly inside the cardboard box so it couldn't move around and potentially damage the box from the inside while in transit. I wish more online retailers would pay as much attention to packaging product.

Product is performing well



by:

Love the product, wish however that there was another cross hole for the receiver; it protrudes too much and worries me about leverage even with a weight distributing hitch.

Love the product after this past year. Ive seen others state they wish there was another cross hole. That was a concern of mine, however theres not enough room due to a spare on my vehicle, and theres been no problems with the unit and its extension from the vehicle.



by:

Exactly what I needed for my trailer. Fast shipping. Another great experience with trailer!

Still working great!



by:

This worked well with my sway bar installation, although it is limited to fifteen hundred pounds tongue weight and I would have preferred 1700 pounds to match the tongue weight capacity of our truck.



by:

Works great with the Reese trunnion bar hitch. Gave me the height needed to level the trailer.



by:

Good product at a good price. Will be used with a Reese Strait-Line hitch on a 2006 Suburban 2500 pulling an 11,500 lb GVWR travel trailer.



by:

worked well with my 8000lb Toy Hauler. Was able to adjust hitch height to the right level



by:

great have no problem pulling my 32ft travel trailer or my car trailer.



by:

I received my order very quickly and part is exactly as described. I have always been very pleased with etrailer.



by:

good quality and appreciate the recessed design -- as it helps to reduce total weight of the hitch assembly.



by:

Item shipped quickly, communication was amazing, and item was exactly what I was looking for. I have ordered all my trailering needs from etrailer for quite sometime now and will continue to do so!!



by:

Completed my hitch setup. Just what I needed. Gets lots of use. Good service as always.

Puts the WD Hitch at the correct height.
