Replacement Shank for Lower Trailer on Ford F-350 With 3" Receiver

Question

Question:

I bought a new trailer that is lower than my old one. I see you offer longer shanks but can they be had for the three inch receiver on my F350 so I don’t need the 2”

Currently there are no replacement drop shanks offered in a 3" receiver, but there are for 2-1/2". The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ94FR will give you 9" of total drop.

If you already have a reducer for the 2" and are more apt to stay with that then the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4400 will provide you the same 9" of total drop.
