The Replacement 10K Ball Mount Tongue for Brophy Adjustable Drop Hitch # RTB1 has a 2-1/8" gap to fit the shank from your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET, but the hole spacing for the two are incompatible with each other.

The # RTB1 has a 2" hole spacing from center to center and the # EQ37140ET has a 1-1/4" hole spacing from center to center.

If you could give me a bit more detail on what you're trying to accomplish then I could help find the solution to your issue.
