Quality heavy hitch shank

Item received with poor packaging, rusted and scratched. Had to prep and paint to make look new.

I am sorry that it arrived in this condition. Let me send this over to customer service for them to look into some sort of compensation.



by:

very heavy duty
bolt holes correctly
spaced for my wt distribution hitch



by:

This is a perfect replacement for my blue ox 2 inch receiver shank. This shank is 2.5 inches and fits great. No more sleeve to take up the space from 2inch to 2.5 inch.



by:

Incredibly fast delivery! I was amazed first of all by how fast I received it but most of all the quality of the product. I highly recommend using them



by:

Hey George, if this mail goes thru. I adapted a set up for the hitch when i park. I used 2 pieces of welded angle iron and welded the adapter to them. Then i bolted the assembled part to the a frame, behind battery box.



by:

The 2 1/2” shaft works great on my F 250. It eliminates the need for a sleeve when using a 2” shaft. The 2 1/2” shaft fit my existing Equalizer hitch with no problems.



by:

Fits perfectly, now the slop is gone from the 2” shank and the 2”/2 1/2” adapter. Actually arrived a day early.

No problems, fits and works as expected.



by:

Stepped up from the 2" version of this shank after stepping up to a truck with a 3" receiver. Exact replacement for the old shank, albeit with less play due to reducers. Will be towing a 38' TT from AZ to IL in the upcoming week and am now looking a bit more forward to the tow!



by:

I have been using a spacer to increase my 2 inch shank to a 2 1/2 inch. Too much play was starting to occur in and it was noticeable on starts and stops when towing my airstream. This fit perfectly, and was easy to replace the original 2 inch shank. Shipping was easy arrived on time and very satisfied with my purchase. I’ve ordered other items from each trailer and they have always been exactly as I ordered it on time.
Thank you E trailer Dr. Dean .



by:

Great product



by:

The product does what it was made to do;however the condition it was received looked used. Much of the paint was scratched off. The box arrived in excellent condition so it must have been shipped that way. You buy something new you don't expect to have to paint it.



by:

The communication on packing and delivery was great
The product is exactly what I needed



by:

Shaft is pretty solid and hefty , fits the hitch pretty tight , everything swapped over from other shaft I was given when I bought the camper and had almost 2.5 inches of play including the insert from 2.5 to 2 inch.



by:

Just what I ordered. Arrived quickly!



by:

Excellent, this product allows me to set my ball at the correct height to pull my trailer level



by:

Good service

by:

Order was fast and quick. I wanted to upgrade the hitch and arms to the 14K from the 10K Equalizer set up. The arms are larger giving me the added lift I needed. I also was tired of the additional play in my Ford OEM receiver so I ordered from them the 21/2" stinger. I transferred hardware over including the ball and everything is much better. I have little to no play now trailer is level and all sway is gone. Thank you etrailer for always recommending the right products and having what I need. I will always use you and recommend you to all my friends!



by:

Mike helped me choose the proper shank, we ordered it and it was delivered quickly. The process was quick and easy.



by:

Part looked used, scratches and slight rust. Was ready to send back, but painted it to correct the imperfections.



by:

Super heavy duty. Exactly what I wanted.



by:

My 2" square shank with 2" to 2 1/2" adapter was very sloppy in my Silverado 2500 HD receiver and I noticed the pin hole was beginning to elongate slightly due to the slop. This 2 1/2" weight distribution shank proved to be a direct replacement for the Eaz Lift WD set up I have and works perfectly. It fits very well into my receiver with minimum slop and the corners are beautifully machined. I'm sure the pin hole elongation problem will be minimized now. Great product and recommended.

George K.

Works great. No issues.



by:

I'm thankful to find this shank that is already adapted to fit my stock heavy duty hitch which is 1/2" larger than what is common on most tow packages. Being able to use this instead of an adapter collar is a pure solid feel, one less part to keep track of and a fair price. Thank you for the quick shipping and good customer service to ensure me this was the part I was looking for.

This is one heavy duty shank. The initial adjustments I made to it have stayed in place and no back off of any bolts.



by:

Great price and was delivered a day early! I had been putting off upgrading from a 2 inch shank to a 2.5 inch shank for years.. What a mistake! Do it now!. Removing the internal 2 inch shank reducer in the hitch and installing the 2.5 shank has made the towing much smoother and secure. I should have done this years ago!!! Just completed a 1500 mile round trip, what a game changer!....



by:

Bought a chevy 2500,had a 21/2" receiver. Replaced the shank instead of using 2" insert,this way no extra play in receiver. Works great.

  • 2-1/2 Inch Shank Compatible With Equal-i-zer Rated For 1,200 lb Tongue Weight
    There are definitely 2-1/2 inch shanks you can use that are compatible with your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET. Equal-i-zer makes a number of 2-1/2 inch shanks, so you can simply choose the one you need with the correct rise or drop, and I'll list out their 2-1/2 inch shanks by what the maximum rise and drop is: - 7" Rise, 3" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4700 - 8" Rise, 4" Drop: Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution...

  • Extra-Long 2-1/2 Inch Weight Distribution Shank for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
    The 12-1/2 inch long Curt # C17132 weight distribution shank is the longest 2-1/2 inch shank we offer that would be compatible with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. I'd recommend using a reducer sleeve like the Curt # C45405, which would allow you to use the # EQ90-02-4500 which is 18 inches long and offers up to a 3 inch drop or a 7 inch rise or the # EQ90-02-4600 which is also 18 inches long and offers up to a 4 inch drop or an 8 inch rise.

  • 12k Rated Equal-i-Zer that Can be Used with 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    We have the 12k rated Equal-i-zer part # EQ37121ET which comes without a shank so that you could add the shank you'd need like the part # EQ90-02-4700 which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch and has a 3 inch drop or part # EQ90-02-4900 which can do a 6 inch drop.

  • Class IV Weight Distribution Hitch With Sway for 2019 Venture SportTrek 38 Travel Trailer
    First you will want to confirm what your tongue weight is that you will be towing with. You can do this with a tongue weight scale like the etrailer scale # e99044. This will ensure that you have a weight and sway distribution hitch that is correct for your 2019 Venture SportTrek travel trailer. This device will plug into the OBD II port on your 2017 Ford F-250 and will tell you the tongue weight of your camper as well as help you setup the new weight and sway hitch. For tongue weights...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution and Sway Hitch for a 2022 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2516S
    For your 2022 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2516S I am going to recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37121ET. This hitch is rated for tongue weights of 800-1,200lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 12,000lbs. With the dry tongue weight being 772lbs by the time you add the 60lbs of propane and your 110lbs of batteries you are already up to 942lbs before you add anything into the front storage or kitchen area. You will want the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist...

  • How To Use Equal-i-zer 1400/14000lb Weight Distribution Hitch In 2021 Ford F-350 W/ 3" Receiver
    I have another option for you, but due to the tongue weight of your trailer being right at the max 1200lb rating of the Buyers Products # 337RTA302, and your 2021 Ford F-350's 3" trailer hitch receiver having a hitch pin hole of 5/8" meaning it will not work correctly with the # C45408 I do not recommend either of these option. Instead I recommend using the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 3" to 2-1/2" # BWRHXA2183 to reduce your 3" receiver to 2-1/2", then replacing your shank with...

  • Width of Equal-i-zer Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch & Does 16k Equal-i-zer Come Without Shank
    You are right that it narrows down a bit, as the width is 2 inches at the adjustment holes for the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700. Weight distribution shanks are essentially universal fits, yes, so long as your weight distribution system head uses a shank with holes spaced 1-1/4" apart on center, which almost all do, so yes, it can be used on a 10k system like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs...

    There are three Equal-i-zer shanks that will fit 2-1/2" hitches. None are any longer than the others, with each being 12" and having a tongue weight capacity between 600 and 1,600 lbs; the only differences between the shanks are the rise and drop they offer. Shank # EQ90-02-4700 offers a maximum rise of 7" and maximum drop of 3". Shank # EQ90-02-4800 has a maximum rise of 8" and maximum drop of 4".

  • Can a 2-1/2 WD Shank be Used with a System that Uses a 2 Shank
    Most WD shanks that fit a 2-1/2" receiver taper down to the normal 2" receiver size, just like the Equal-i-zer Shank # EQ90-02-4700. The only thing that you need to be sure of is that the mounting holes are in the same space. I have linked a photo displaying the dimensions I referenced for you.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 10,000 Pound Car Trailer
    When it comes to choosing a weight distribution hitch the most important factor is tongue weight. That is the loaded tongue weight of your trailer, along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle on your tow vehicle. The tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the trailer weight, so for now we will assume 1,000-1500 lbs assuming you're at 10,000 lbs. You will need to find your actual tongue weight to be sure since this is just the capacity of your trailer. For the best sway control,...

  • Which Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution for 8000 lb GVWR Travel Trailer
    Since tongue weight is approximately 10 to 15% of the trailer's fully loaded and ready to tow weight, let's start out with the premise that your Imagine 2500 RL has a tongue weight between 800 and 1100 lbs. In that case, I can highly recommend the Equal-i-zer # EQ37121ET which is specifically designed for trailers with a tongue weight between 800 and 1200 lbs (make sure you include cargo stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle as tongue weight). The system includes the 2-5/16 inch...

  • Can I Get An Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System With A Shank For A 2-1/2" Hitch
    What you can do is order part # EQ37101ET. This is the 10K equalizer system sold without a shank. You can also order the shank # EQ90-02-4700, which is the shank for a 2-1/2" hitch.

  • Weight Distribution Shank that Allows Truck Tailgate to Fold Down

  • Choosing Correct Weight Distribution Shank
    To determine the amount of drop you'll need your replacement shank to have, take a height measurement from the top inside edge of the receiver tube to the ground, then measure from the bottom of the trailer's coupler to the ground (make sure trailer is level when taking the measurement) then subtract the coupler height from the hitch height. The result is the amount of drop you'll need. We do offer weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch receivers, and the hole spacing for the weight...

  • How to Determine What Rise/Drop That is Needed for Weight Distribution System
    To determine how much of a Rise or Drop you would need so that your towing setup is level you will need to compare some measurements. Start off my parking your 2017 GMC on level ground and then measuring from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. You will then want to park your trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the top of your receiver opening is taller (which is most likely the case) you will want to subtract the height of the...

If the shank on your system has does not have a channel like the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4700 this would be a perfect option as it will work with the 2-1/2" receiver in your new Ford...

    I do have a solution for you, however at this time there are no 3" Weight Distribution (WD) shanks available like the Equal-i-zer # EQ90-02-4700 that you referenced. Instead you can simply use the Equal-i-zer # EQ90-02-4700 with the Curt Reducer Sleeve # C45408. This will take your 3" receiver down to a 2-1/2" or 2" size so that you can still use your accessories.
