Fastway e2 Trunnion Bar System for 840 lb Tongue Weight, With 2 Inch Hitch Ball and 6 Inch Drop

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking at the E2 Trunnion bar WDH and have a couple questions. I have a tongue weight of 840LBS, 2 ball, and currently at a 6 drop for level towing. What products numbers do you recommend to complete this setup? And if the ball is not installed, is there an option to have a 2 ball pre-installed? Thank you!

Okay we can get you set up with everything you need - the Fastway e2 trunnion bar weight system for your 840 lb tongue weight, the correct 2 inch hitch ball for the system, and the shank required that will allow a 6 inch drop. There isn't an option for a system with the tongue weight you have that has a 2 inch ball pre-installed, so that will need to be something you install. It can be made easier, however, with the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216.

With that, here are all the parts you need:

- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-1000

- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4315

- 2" Hitch Ball # A-90

I have added links below to some video reviews for you to check out as well.

The max drop the #FA92-02-4315 that you referenced can do is 8 inches. Since you need right at 6 inches of drop to tow your trailer level this shank would work well for you. I attached a help article link on selecting the correct rise/drop ball mount…

Answer 5

Best solution is to replace your 2 inch Blue Ox weight distribution shank with one that is designed for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. For that you'd want the #EQ90-02-4900 which will fit your hitch without an adapter and because of that will reduce the…

Answer 8

We offer couple of 2-1/2 inch weight distribution shanks that could work for you. If up to a 9-1/4 inch drop/12 inch rise would work for you, then I'd recommend the Curt #C17132 shank. If you need more rise or drop than that, the Equal-i-zer…

Answer 9

If you need exactly a 4 inch drop (or even up to 5-1/2 inches), then you will want the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank #FA92-02-4214, but if you need just a little more than that you will want #FA92-02-4315 which will give you up to a 9-3/4 inch…

The Curt Shank part #C17124 would give you right at 10 inches of drop when used with your Fastway e2 weight distribution system and would be what you'd want. The Curt and Fastway shanks are both made to the same dimensions which is what allows…

For your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch like the #FA94-00-1000 there are quite a few different shanks you can use to get the increased rise or drop you need. For example the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 12-1/2"…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
