Recommended Weight Distribution Shank for a Reese Weight Distribution System
Question:
Since this WDH does not come with a shank, which shank do I need?
asked by: Phil
Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Reese Weight Distribution Shank item # RP69FR. This fits a 2" hitch receiver. It has a maximum drop of 4" and a maximum rise of 9".It is 13-3/4" long. These shank will work perfectly with the Reese Dual Cam II Weight Distribution System w/ Active Sway Control item # RP65FR you referenced.
I have linked a review video below.
If your vehicle has a 2-1/2" receiver you will want the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4900.
I also recommend the Classic Accessories Tow Bar and Weight Distribution Tote item # CA80113. This heavy duty bag is perfect for storing your weight distributing hitch. It is 36" x 11" Wide x 8" Tall and has padding that prevents damage to your hitch and prevents dings to your vehicle's cargo area from shifting gear.
