Exactly what I needed to level out my weight distribution hitch. As always etrailer had a great price, for a great product, with amazing costumer service. They are now my go to retailer for all of my trailer needs.



by:

Ordered a Curt shank, with more drop for my new F-250, to fit a Husky dist. hitch, perfectly. Received promptly, and installed the same day! Waiting on the weekend to pull the camper!

Still working great. Would prefer a tighter fit in the receiver, but, other hitches have similar fit. Great product!



by:

Great company to work with, super easy to find. Ordered the shank on a Monday and received it on Thursday. Would reccomend this company to anyone looking for this stuff..

Still working great we pull our camper every weekend.



by:

This was a perfect drop hitch for a 2018 ford f350. Bought to use with a reese weight Distribution system and works great. Good product and a great place to buy!



by:

Exactly what I was looking for to use with my 2019 Ram 2500 and pair with our round bar setup for our camper, extremely heavy well built product that will last for a life time!



by:

Just the right size on my Ford Tremor for dropping my weight distribution hitch to line up with my car trailer



by:

worked great with a hitch that came with a used camper I got. need this to fit my lifted 3/4 ton truck.



by:

Ordered this for my 2016 Ram 3500. The truck is stock but is still higher than the previous 1500. In setting it up for a trailer height and weight distribution hitch height of 19 inches I found that there were still had three holes below the bottom bolt of the hitch. It has worked flawlessly and would recommend this shank. PS. The shank is 9.5 inches from the ground. Still plenty of clearance.

It works as designed. Highly recommended.



by:

Very strong shank. Works well!



by:

Works as expected. Wish there was less “slop”. When not connected to a trailer I can hear it bounce around in my receiver. There are a few entrances that I do drag on. My truck is a stock 2022 ram 3500 dually.



by:

Awesome customer service. Called beginning of May to order the drop shank. Asked if I could hay it before May 21st. Got an email same day that it was shipping out and received it 3 days later. Anytime I am bending something for my trailers or towing. This will be the first place I got. Thanks



by:

Just what I needed for my jayco 23b and 2020 Silverado 2500hd. Perfect drop for my equalizer hitch, trailer rides nice and level.



by:

Hitch works very good. No need for the sleeve adapter anymore. Only issue I had was it was too much of a drop. Had to cut about three holes off of the bottom. Otherwise I was hitting ground going into driveways.



by:

Heavy as hell and built to last, having mounted it and the hitch on it, adjusting and then removing, let me tell you this is seriously built and sturdy. I will have confidence in towing my 6500 lb RV from my lifted 4WD (4") utilizing the drop capability of this hitch. Needed 2 1/2 inches more drop and still not using the last three holes of capability.



by:

So far, product has performed as advertised. This weight distribution hitch shank is made by Curt but I have a Reese hitch. The Reese hitch head fit like they are made for each other. This will allow my travel trailer to be towed in a level position.



by:

Just recieved my Curt 8" drop shank for my weight distribution hitch, just what I needed for my lifted truck to be able pull my RV. Awesome Customer service. Thanks again



by:

Exactly what I needed and shipping was amazingly fast! Thank you so much eTrailer!!



by:

The hitch shank is good quality. I bought for a stock 2018 F350 4 wheel drive. It was actually a little longer than I needed. I probably could have gotten by with the shorter shank.



by:

I used the c17132 shank to replace my original 2” camper trailer shank, which was not big enough to fit on my new 2500 ram. It works great. No slack or shake and makes pulling so much better.



by:

Working great pulling a 32 foot travel trailer



by:

The shank that came was exactly what I ordered and arrived a day earlier than expected. Works great with my eaz lift weight distribution hitch.



by:

Great service and very knowledgeable staff at etrailer. Will be shopping here again for sure!



by:

The hitch is top quality at the best price and quick delivery. There’s not much more you could ask for.’



by:

Great product Timely shipping easy to track order I would definitely recommend etrailer for any towing needs



by:

Looks well built and strong but could be a tighter fit going into receiver, seems a little loose to me.

  • Is There Way to Use Weight Distribution System with 3 inch Hitch
    At this time the biggest hitch size we have weight distribution shanks for is the 2-1/2 inch hitch size like the part # C17132. Which you would have to then use a 2-1/2 inch to 3 inch hitch reducer part # BWRHXA2183.

  • Correct Weight Distribution Shank for 2017 Ford F-250 with 6 Inch Lift and 37 Inch Tires
    The correct way to measure for rise/drop is from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube (A) and then from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler while level (B). The difference between these two measurements will then give you the correct rise/drop (C). Therefore, your A measurement minus your B measurement will give you your C measurement which will be for drop. I am having a hard time trying to decipher where you are measuring from but I can tell you that the...

  • Can Curt Deep Drop Adjustable 2-Ball Mount be Used as Weight Distribution Shank
    The width is 2-1/2 inches, the hole spacing is 1-1/4 inches, and you can 100% use the Curt Deep Drop Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C89NR as a weight distribution shank. The reason for that is because the shank that comes with the # C89NR is the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitches # C17132. Weight distribution shanks are interchangeable as well, so you can definitely use this with your Reese weight distribution hitch.

  • Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Hitch That Has 14 Inches From Center Hole To Adjustment Hole
    The Curt # C17132 is the closest we have to matching those lengths you mention. The distance from pin hole to the adjustment pin hole is 8-1/2" on center. Depending on how heavy your load is, you could use a hitch reducer like # BWRHXA2182 to convert your 2-1/2" hitch to a 2" hitch and use the WDS shank # C17122. This has a 14" pin hole distance to adjustment pin hole on center, and is rated for up to 15,000-lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,500-lbs.

  • 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.

  • Drop Shank for 2-1/2 inch Hitch that Can be Used with Blue Ox Weight Distribution
    All of the weight distribution manufacturers have made their shank dimensions to the same standard size which means you can swap brands of shanks without issue. So since you need more drop and have a 2-1/2 inch hitch size the # C17132 would be a really great option.

    There is a weight distribution shank that can give you 6 inches of drop and fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch. Weight distribution shanks are designed in a way that allows you to use a shank from a different manufacturer than the hitch itself, so what you can use is a shank from Curt: - Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitches # C17132 This is compatible with your Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch, has a maximum drop of 9-1/4 inches, and is rated for up to 15,000 lbs so it is more...

  • Best Weight Distribution Shank for a 2018 Ram 2500
    I have exactly what you need for your 2018 Ram 2500. For this, I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # C17132 which has a 2-1/2" shank that offers up to an 9-1/4" drop. According to the measurements you provided, you will need a shank with a 7-3/4" drop which means the above shank will be perfect for you. It is also the most amount of drop we offer in a 2-1/2" weight distribution shank. The hole size and spacing follows the industry standard so it will work on most other weight...

  • Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation with 9 inches of Drop for 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    The weight distribution shank we offer that has the most drop that fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch is the Curt Shank part # C17132 which has a drop of 9-1/4 inches. Depending on if you calculated the drop you need with the trailer's tongue weight on the hitch or not this could work. If you came up with 9 inches of drop with the tow vehicle unloaded 8 inches of drop might be right when the weight of the trailer is on the rear suspension. Otherwise we have a 2 inch shank with 9 inches of drop as...

  • Recommended Longer 2-1/2 Inch Shank for a Pro Series Weight Distribution System
    The Curt Weight Distribution Shank part # C17132 will work with the Pro Series Weight Distribution System part # PS49902 so if this is what you need then you will be good to go. However, the 10" drop that the above offers is quite long and if you don't use all of this then the shank might limit your ground clearance. If you only need 6" per say of drop then I would go with the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4900 instead. In order to find out how much drop you need, simply...

  • Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2-Inch Hitch That Allows Increased Height Drop
    Since weight distribution shanks are made to a common standard you can use any brand of 2-1/2-inch shank with your EAZ-Lift setup. Based on your dimensions you need a shank that will give you at least 4-inches of drop. The Equal-i-zer shank # EQ90-02-4900 that you referenced should work great since it gives up to 6-inches of drop (and so long as your actual tongue weight (TW) does not exceed its 1600-lb rating).

    While we do not have a Blue Ox weight distribution shank with 11 holes, we do carry a Curt brand that does the trick.

For an 11-hole weight distribution shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch, that is the Curt Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitches - 12" Rise - 9-1/4" Drop # C17132.
