While it is uncertain if or when someone will make a weight distribution shank for a 3" Ford Receiver, I have seen where a BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # HD308 is used with the Weight Distribution Shank for BulletProof Hitches # 358WEIGHTDIST. This will give you an adjustable mount that you can quickly and easily switch from a standard 2" or 2-5/16" ball mount to towing with your weight distribution hitch. You will not need to use any reducers to use your weight distribution... view full answer...

If you were wanting the weight distribution system to prevent the rear of the vehicle form squatting when a trailer is hitched up, you might consider an Air Helper Spring system like the # AL60747 from Air Lift. The air springs mount inside your current coil springs, and can be inflated when needed to prevent some of that rear send squat. If you click the provided link, you can see the installation instructions.

It sounds like you're looking for an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch and has either an 8" rise or drop. We have the # EQ90-02-4800 with an 8" rise and 4" drop if you need an 8" rise. If you need an 8" drop you can use the # EQ94FR with a 13" rise and 9" drop.
If by whole kit you mean the entire weight distribution hitch, you will need to choose one based on the loaded tongue weight of your setup. Your tongue weight should fall into the range of the system.... view full answer...
Yes, the weight distribution head has a mounting hole for a sway control ball like the Sway Control Ball, item # RP58060. The weight distribution head included with the Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Hitch System for Titan 2-1/2 inch Receivers, item # RP66006, has the sway control ball on the right side of the head only. There is not a trunnion style head available with two sway control ball mounts available.

We did stop carrying the Equalizer brand weight distribution hitches. We do carry several other weight distributions systems though.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.
I have attached links to a helpful article that shows how to determine tongue weight and an article about weight distribution... view full answer...
The TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension # TLE1548 is the only 48" hitch extension we carry capable of supporting the 10,000lbs of trailer weight you are wanting.

The Extension # TLE1548 is capable of towing up to 12,000lbs with up to 1,200lbs of tongue weight when using a weight distribution hitch. Without a weight distribution hitch trailer weight is limited to 6,000lbs... view full answer...
Most likely yes, you can use weight distribution on your 2015 Ram CV. However, you will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to make sure your vehicle is rated for weight distribution. There also will be a sticker on your hitch that lists this info as well.

What you can do is weld a steel plate on the outside of each of the frame rails and use Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On, # RP58305, with a weight distribution system like # 49570 that you have referenced. Any welding should be performed by a qualified professional welder.

The Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17124 would be 13" long and provide 9" of drop since your weight distribution system is trunnion style. This also fits a 2" shank so you would need a hitch reducer sleeve like the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # BWRHXA2182 which would allow you to use the 2" shank in your 2-1/2" hitch.
We do not have a shank that does everything you are looking for, this is the closest we had to the 14" long with 9" drop that you are looking for. view full answer...
Yes, we have the Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems which are compatible with surge brakes. I saw you were looking at the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66084 with a weight capacity of 600-1,200lbs of tongue weight and a trailer up to 12,000lbs. You would most likely need the Equal-i-zer 12,000LB # EQ37120ET which is rated for 800-1,200lbs of tongue weight. Otherwise the Equal-i-zer 10,000LB # EQ37100ET is rated for 600-1,000lbs of tongue weight. Please let me know... view full answer...
We have one weight distribution shank that will fit the 3" receiver on your 2022 Ford F-250. That is the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # GY92RR. This has a maximum rise/drop of 7" and a gross towing weight of 21,000 lbs.
The holes are spaced 1-1/4" apart on center which is standard for most shanks. I recommend comparing this to what you have now just to be sure. The shank requires 1,600-2,400 lbs of tongue weight for the shock absorption feature to function as intended. You... view full answer...
If you are using a weight distribution hitch we have an Extended Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600. This shank is 6" longer than typical shanks that are included with a weight distribution hitch. It is 14" from the center of the receiver hitch pin hole to the center of the mounting holes for the weight distribution head. You will need to verify that your vertical bolt holes are 3/4" in diameter and have a 1-1/4" incremental height measurement.
We also have the Brophy Ball Mount for 2"... view full answer...
To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.
It can be hard to estimate the capacity based on the try weight but some weight distribution systems have a tongue weight range. It is likely that when loaded the tongue weight will be greater than 410 pounds... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but there are not any suspension enhancement systems available for your 2018 Hyundai Sante Fe. Instead, I recommend looking into a weight distribution hitch which is the recommended method for leveling your vehicle and trailer. A weight distribution hitch takes the weight of the trailer off the rear axle of the vehicle and applies it more evenly throughout the entire vehicle and trailer. This results in less rear sag on the tow vehicle along with improved handling... view full answer...
Weight distribution systems like the Reese Strait-Line # RP66084 can be fitted with a new shank portion, such as the # RP63971, when a different amount of height rise or drop is needed for the hitched trailer to remain level with the ground - which is essential for good handling.
It is also possible to use a different size shank to enable a weight distribution system used in a 2-inch hitch to be moved over to a vehicle that has a 2-1/2-inch hitch. In this case only the shank portion needs... view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but the Curt Rebellion XD # C45949-2 is not compatible with weight distribution hitches. If you've got a weight distribution system where the head mounts to the shank using 3/4 inch bolts that are 1-1/4 inches apart on center, you could use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs # AMAC1. This shank has a 10,000-lbs capacity, so you'll want to make sure that your trailer is less than that, but if your current shank... view full answer...

There is not a Class IV hitch available for the 2008 Dakota, but the Curt Class III receiver, part # 13230 has an 8000 lb capacity when used with a weight distribution system. The W/D system will use leverage provided by spring bars to transfer a portion of the trailer tongue weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle, thus allowing the hitch to bear more weight. Although the hitch is rated... view full answer...
You will need to check the Equal-I-zer hitch head. If it mounts to a shank using 3/4 inch bolts that are 1-1/4 inches apart on center then you can use Curt weight distribution shank # C17122. The maximum rise is 6 inches using this shank.
