Shank for Fastway Weight Distribution that Can do 4 inches of Drop
Question:
I purchased a 30ft trailer and part of the deal was a free weight distribution hitch Part #FA92-00-1000. With the auto leveling function of the vehicle I could not the hitch low enough to level the trailer and the vehicle. The trailer appears to be about 3-4 inches higher in the front than in the rear. Camping World didnt have a shank with a longer drop. With the auto leveling function on my vehicle is there recommended shank length you would suggest that would work with my hitch? The attached photo doesnt show much of a difference between the front and rear of the trailer but with the trailer not being level it made for one heck of a bouncy ride home. Thanks.

The Fastway weight distribution system you have part # FA92-00-1000 can do a drop of up to 1 inch, so for a shank that works with this system and can do a drop of up to 5-1/2 inches of drop you'd want the part # FA92-02-4214.
