Question:
Im looking at the blue ox wdh for 2,000 tounge weight. It comes with a 2.5 inch shank but I have a 2 inch receiver. Will this wdh work with a different shank? Thanks for any help! 1999 Ford Super Duty

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs # AMAC1 will work with the 2,000 lb tongue weight of the Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW2000 but it will limit the towing capacity to 10,000 lbs.
Your only other option is to replace your trailer hitch receiver. If you go this route, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" # DT45508 which is a custom fit for your 1999 Ford Super Duty Truck
