Are Weight Distribution Shanks Manufacturer Specific or Interchangeable?

Question:

Can any 2inch shank be used that meets the weight distribution requirements, or does this require a Reese shank?

Weight distribution shanks are most of the time interchangeable between manufacturers, so if you need a specific drop or are simply looking for the best price you can use any shank that fits your trailer hitch receiver and meets the tongue weight rating of your system. Almost all manufacturers have weight distribution shanks that have holes 1-1/4 inches on center, and all the weight distribution shanks we carry are interchangeable.

I've linked the page to all of your options that fit a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver for your convenience.
