Drop Weight Distribution Shank Availability
Question:
I have a weight distribution hitch and I need a longer shank to provide more drop. I would like to send a pick of my current shank to see what will work for a shank.

Expert Reply:
We have drop shanks for weight distribution systems like the # C17125 which would provide 15-3/4 inches of drop or for less drop you would want the part # C17124 which has 9 inches of drop. Feel free to send me a picture of your setup and what specific amount of drop you would need and I'll give you a more specific answer if the two shanks I mentioned wouldn't work. Nearly all weight distribution system manufacturers use the same dimensions for their shank attachment so we have found that the shanks are for the most part all interchangeable.
