Expert Reply:
Many weight distribution shanks will be interchangable with your ProSeries weight distribution system. The only thing you need to do is match the style of the shank. So if it is a channel style, you will need to get a channel style drop shank like # RP63971. If it is a regular shank you can use a traditional style drop shank like # C17123. If it has a vertical groove, you will need the vertical groove like # RP54998.
Other than style, you will just need to get compatible weight rating and proper adjustment height. I've attached a link to our 2 inch receiver weight distribution shank page for your convenience.
