Recommended Drop Shank For Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System For 2-3 Inches Additional Drop
Question:
I have a Fastway e2 4.5k WD hitch. The shank does not provide enough drop for my Expedition. It was perfect for my Escape. I need about 2-3 inches . What would you suggest as far as another shank that would work with this hitch?

Expert Reply:
For your extra drop needed with your Fastway E2 weight distribution system, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 10-3/4" Rise, 5-1/2" Drop - 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-02-4214 this will give you a little under 4 inches of additional drop from your standard shank.
If you need more, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 12-1/2" Rise 9-3/4" Drop - 1.2K TW # FA92-02-4315 which will give you the additional drop you need.
