Shank Recommendation for Fastway Weight Distribution for 2019 Ram 2500 with 2.5 inch Hitch
Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 2500 4x4 w Off Road package. I recently purchased a preowned Arctic Fox 25Y trailer which came with an E2 equalizer Round Bar sway control hitch. It also came with a standard 2” shank. First problem, Truck receiver shank size is 2.5”... and Wondering if the standard shank rise and is adequate. Ram 2500 is fairly tall, and also has a 1” factory lift... how do decide which shank model is the correct one re: /rise? Thanks for any help!

Expert Reply:
Since your truck has a lift, and without a lift it sits up pretty high I would recommend a shank that fits the 2.5 inch hitch size with a bit more drop in the shank like the # EQ90-02-4900 which can do a drop of up to 6 inches or the part # EQ94FR which has a 9 inch drop.
