Weight Distribution Shank for 2.5 inch Hitch of 2021 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 F250 Super Duty with a 2.5inch receiver. I need a down shank to pair with a Reese pro series weight distribution hitch I have. I need to almost 5.5 inches . So I would think a shank with 8inch would give me enough to adjust as needed. I dont know if I even still need weight distribution as my camper is only 4300# empty. Either way I would prefer a 2.5inch shank,I think would be tighter fit

You could use the Equal-i-zer shank part # EQ94FR with your 2.5 inch hitch of your 2021 Ford F-250 as it has a drop of up to 9 inches and also fits the 2.5 inch hitch size you have. This shank is perfectly compatible with your Pro Series as well.
