Do Most Weight Distribution System Heads Bolt Up to the Same Shanks
Question:
Are the head mounting bolt holes standard for all manufacturers? ie I have a 2012 F-350 with 2 1/2inch receiver and a Husky 2inch wdh. I want to just purchase a Curt #17128 or similar shank and mount the head off my Husky hitch to it. I do not want to buy a whole new system or use a sleeve.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Most of the weight distribution shanks like the # C17131 that you referenced are compatible with the heads of different brands systems.
If the distance between the mounting holes on the shank you currently have are 1-1/4 inches apart and are 3/4 inch in diameter the Curt shank you referenced would fit.
I attached a picture that shows what most shank hole dimensions are.
